Re: Should sponsors be held the same standards as teams?

Does anyone think that there should be mandated rules as to who can sponsor and who should not be able to sponsor? (Either for FIRST as a whole, or individual teams, or both?) Why or why not?

[Example: FIRST Sponsor Rule #1: No team is allowed to be sponsored by an alcohol-related distributor.]
*keep in mind that this was just an example, not how I actually feel*

Personally, I dont think FIRST should limit who can sponsor teams. If a company wishes to sponsor a team I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to. It is not like we are dealing with pharmaceutical companies donating to politicians. I do not see any anything wrong with alcohol or any other company supporting a team as long as it does not promote illegal activities such as underage drinking.
