Re: Is FIRST a Sport
Generally speaking, sports require long preparation, quick action, and immense physical exertion. FIRST is all these things, except physical. The only workout I get from FIRST is standing all day on an empty stomach, and maybe blood loss.
However, I prefer FIRST, which I call a competition, in most respects, to my other major "sport", soccer. There is no need to say FIRST is a sport because you turn a wrench, because its fine as it is, without the title of "sport". Besides, there are other advantages: with the title of "sport", you have to take showers with other guys...
