Re: Competition Professionalism

As a member of the federal government, I work with some of the most staid, uptight, rigid, button-down bureaucrats around. I asked a few of them, as government professionals, if they thought this type of celebration was counterproductive to attracting the "right kind" of corporate support. Their response?

"Any organization that would be offended by the celebration that occurs at a FIRST competition is an organization that you would never want as a sponsor anyway."

That works for me. Party on.
