I agree with "clean" and "nice", and I'll ignore "to the point" for now.

Since it's a fundamental misuse of the word (as well as a malapropism), it can't come off as professional, especially to the reporters covering the event.

Well.... maybe you're right, and that it is a misuse of the word. As I mentioned before, if you look a the synonyms of that word, it sort of makes sense.
Anywho... you (all) will probably continue to hear this phrase until someone from FIRST tells teams to change it... because not every FIRST team is here on CD being educated, and so unknowing teams are just going to copy what they hear or do what they are told is acceptable by other teams.
