Re: Petition to end things that confuse the public
The premise of this whole thread is silly in my opinion.
Main-stream professional sports have all sorts of traditions that seem weird to outsiders: the Red Wings' lucky octopus, playoff beards, vuvuzelas, shouting "ole ole ole", the Red Socks playing "sweet caroline", dumping gatorade on the coach, endzone/goal dances, drinking milk after the Indy 500... the list goes on and on.
It's all weird. It shows that no one is taking what they're doing TOO seriously, and I think it is good that we do kinda weird things at robotics events. It helps everyone get into the spirit of the event and feel more like a unified group.
Having said that, I'd be okay if "cotton-eyed joe" was never played again.
