Booing 2 Championships during the top 10

[Thad House]

Thank you to everyone that booed



Note that this is my opinion and not the teams.

Since when is booing anything acceptable behavior?

Booing high school students is certainly not acceptable, but are you seriously suggesting that people should never show disapproval of anything?

FIRST HQ is destroying the very event that all of these students are currently at, why shouldn't they show their disapproval of FIRST making a joke about the issue?

No, but there are other ways of showing disapproval of something; like at the Town Hall Meeting, contacting FIRST, the other threads on CD, etc.

What did everyone actually boo at?

[Whippet]

I'm going to second the request for video. What was the booing about?

[SoulianPride]

Not everyone is against two championships...

[donnie99]

The booing was about how there are going to be 2 championships starting in 2017.

[MARS_James]

They booed Number 1 which was something like:

For the 2017 Championship will there be 1 Top 10 or 2 Top 5's?

[g_sawchuk]

Two is better than one!
Right?
Right.

Right...

Not too GP to boo.

[cricket66]

Wrong

[Woolly]

Is voicing displeasure with a situation in a reasonable manner really disrespectful when born of the desire to see FIRST, the Championship, and STEM awareness improved and not degraded?

[Andrew Y.]

I booed. No shame. I did it.

The last item was whether there will be a singular top ten list or two top five lists due to the splitting of the championship.

I'm neutral right now, but I agree on that being mentioned when the topic is being hotly debated right now.

I'll have to listen back through the livestream I recorded.

While booing isn't "nice" it can be acceptable in my opinion if a large group voices their opinion, it is after all just a reaction to the news.
