I see an issue with a society in which the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word Thrust is something derogatory. It is that facet of society which FIRST can change.

If that be the case, then this poll belongs in the community prefaced with the reason why the team is asking for the information and input. It would show the community how its impact has affected the team through jokes and remarks.
It could be done at a fundraiser for the team, like a pasta dinner. It could be done at the school.
Just a thought.
The community is the one who needs to listen to these thoughtful remarks.
If that be the case.
