That means that the sponsorships NASA offers should remain solely in the U.S. FIRST does not have a responsibility to level the playing field for international teams in the same way that it is not responsible for providing the same benefits to Chairmans teams. And international teams should be happy for U.S. teams, not jealous. You don't hear anybody complaining that Michigan has an awesome sponsorship program (it really is awesome). How is that any different?

I'm sorry if I insulted the asker. It is just that I perceive this question as really immature in nature.
This.

To inform everyone this is not the belief for every Canadian. I can't say I haven't been jealous of teams getting money from NASA, because it's NASA, but I don't know of any other Canadian who wanted first to not let NASA do this.

There is always companies that will only sponsor unless certain criteria is met. For example Chrysler will only sponsor if the team has a mentor who works for Chrysler. 772 was lucky enough to get a sponsorship from Chrysler this year and I have to say they are a pretty nice sponsor to have.

I am unsure if the Canadian aerospace association has been contacted about FIRST but I know that Chris Hadfield strongly supports FIRST.
