Just because Dean is the
FOUNDER of FIRST doesn't mean he runs the whole event. No single person can run the whole event. And just because one VERY important individual states something, doesn't necessarily mean that it is the correct way to continue.

I feel that Joe started this thread to try and spread awareness that "The Championship" is the more (and I use this lightly) "Politically Correct" term for the event. You have to keep in mind that there are teams from all over the world attending this event, not just teams from The United States, while FVC and FLL bring in more foreign teams than FRC, FRC still brings in teams from Canada, The UK, Brazil, Isreal, Mexico and The Netherlands.

Where before there was boredom and lack of understanding, suddenly I saw why competitions would be fun. Not to sound corny or anything, but it brought a side out of me that I used to never show people in public. I danced, cheered, screamed, and had a blast. - DevilChild [more]
