Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals
This still seems to be a sensitive issue for some. There are people who believe that they have the right to call it nationals if they so choose (which, they do), and that there truly isn't any need to change. The other group believes that by calling it nationals, you exclude those international teams and disrespect them in the same breath.
I would be interested to see what some international teams choose to call it.
((On a less important note would be my opinion as to what to call it. I have never heard it called anything but "the World Championship" or "Atlanta". as such, I call it Atlanta when I am speaking with my team or other FIRSTers, and The World Championship when I am speaking to sponsors, family, friends, etc. While I understand both sides of the argument, I believe it is always better to err on the side of respectfulness.))
