that really pisses me off....seriously, they support sports, which almost no one will have a future in, and then they don't support an excellent activity like FIRST where one can learn many skills. I mean, even if you are the next Mike Jordan, its retarded to think that you can make a living doing that forever b/c its so easy to get injured and only the absolute best ever get anywhere(moneywise) with it. I'm not saying nothing good comes out of sports; a healthy body and boosted confidence can easily be good products of it. But in FIRST practically everyone can get a skill that will benifit themselves sometime in the future. Our society is so focused on violent competition, its just inane. Thats why Im pissed that sports coaches get pay raises but not FIRST mentors.
