Not trying to single Dan out, I've just seen this argument made on a few occasions and thought we can all use a reminder on occasion.
I dunno, it seems that FIRST has no problem with the sport concept. The direct connection to the relevance of sports is becoming stronger not weaker.

To add - we, ourselves, risk becoming negative and our passion distorted, if we don't remain somewhat open-minded and flexible in our thinking. Gracious Professionalism is as wonderful an attitude and applicable philosophy as it ever has been.
