Re: Should sponsors be held the same standards as teams?

FIRST teams have more freedom to choose who their sponsors are, of course. Teams need to set their own criteria for sponsorship and have the ability to have a wider standard than what FIRST-Manchester has to deal with.
This was the point I was trying to make, but it sounds much better and way more clear!

FIRST as a whole has a responsibility as to who they chose to sponsor the program. Whoever they chose will (in part) be representing FIRST. This makes it harder to allow acohol, tobacco, or other related companies to majorly sponsor FIRST.

However, in the case of team sponsorship, each team should have its own set of rules regarding sponsorship and what that particular team believes to be an okay sponsor to have. The factors that constitute an good sponsor to have will definitely vary from team to team, region to region, etc.
