Go to Post when answering a question you throw out other teams names (thunder chickens and killer bees)...and a distinguished guest raises his hand and asks if he heard right when I said thunder chickens and asks for an explanation of what a thunder chicken is. - Devon27 [more]

Re: Where's the Gracious Professionalism?

I think its really hard for any of us to weigh in on individual's reactions to some of the events that have happened this season because its easy for us to preach about GP over our keyboards but its another thing to walk it out. For any team to stand through some of the events (SVR, Orlando, San Diego, etc) and react in a positive manner is an extremely hard pill to swallow. Being told you have to sit out of your last chance match to move on all because of a simple mistake in the heat of the moment is hard to justify. Or being told that even though you followed the paths to be reinspected for eliminations that the inspectors didn't give you a thorough enough reinspection means you are DQed instantly from two matches you just won and it ended a season for a team.

These are tough items for teams to swallow. You put all of your heart, effort, and time into the season only for it to end without having a fair shot. I feel especially for the seniors on the teams who lost their last chance to move on to the Championship. I hope your experience in FIRST isn't marked by the events but instead of the victories on and off the field.

While I know the topic of this thread is a good reminder to remain professional in the toughest of situations keep in mind you won't know how you will react to a situation like this until you experience it. Please don't judge those who unfortunately had to go through some extremely sad events. That's not being very compassionate to those who did.
