You're right. FIRST is all of those things.

The way I see it FIRST is not a sport. FIRST deserves the recognition of sports, it is just as fun as sports(actually it's more fun than sports). In many cases FIRST is more useful in life than sports.

To compare FIRST to sports and to call FIRST a sport are two different things. When explaining FIRST to people that don't know about it, comparing it to a sport is a great way to do it. Often times, comparing it to a sport gets people interested.

I agree with both sides of this discussion. Everyone has good points that make me think about it. Overall I agree agree that "FIRST is better." I think FIRST isn't a sport, but if we ever decide definitively that it is, I would have no problem with that.

Either way FIRST is FIRST, sport or no sport, and it is totally awesome both ways.
