Please. Most jokes will have one group (or person) as the butt of the joke. Get over it, and get thicker skin.

Tiger woods is in the room...Do you make a joke about his most recent life crisis?

What separates FIRST from a high school sport is that FIRST students never boo, they never play to break another robot, they never cheat, and no one wants to win by a penalty.

This year teams cheer whenever 469 gets a penalty, when they tip, when their is a practical joke that is hurtful to them.

I will be just as happy as anyone else when someone finally legitimately beats them in a clean match where there's no penalties and they aren't tipped. I will never cheer for a penalty nor a destructive style such as intentional tipping, which I have witnessed several times.

469 has HAD a thick skin. But how much do you want to put them through? They are dominating to the point that teams are dropping the standards that separate FIRST students from normal students.
