FIRST as a sport?

[sgreco]

Do I need a ThunderChickens recliner and Robowrangler's authentic Rebok jersey? Should Karthik's Delgado jersey sell for $500,000 some day?

Of course.
If they sold FIRST jerseys I would definitely buy one from all the elite teams.

If we have things like CD, TBA and Soap gameday why can't we have a store too for FIRST merchandise?

It sounds unrealistic but it could be cool.

Well there is already a FIRST store.
I seriously dobt FIRST would promote any individual FIRST teams in their official stores so to avoid the perception of favoritism. You'd have to get individual t-shirts from the teams themselves.

I believe that there will always be something negative about any sort of competition that stems from it being sports-like, such as cheating, disrespect to the "losers" (I can't call anyone who built a robot a loser...), pride. But I also believe no one has to succumb or comply to this. You can always choose not to be that way. Even if you are the last person doing so.
