Re: Competition Professionalism

"Oh The NERDMANITY!" I love it!

I think comparing corporate professional behavior to FIRST competition behavior does highlight a shortcoming. Conferences and conventions need more dancing! FIRST has it right: celebrate with dance and music! Rejoice with the kids! Those who came just to watch (parents, schoolmates, CEOs) suddenly can (and do) participate WITH the kids. I love it! For 6 or 7 minutes we are all on the same team!

As for delaying the day, it seems the dance is more of a filler for when time is needed on the field or during the pauses during semifinal / final matches. Keeps the crowd busy instead of dead time.

Yup, if there was more dancing during the Democratic / Republican conventions...
