Re: FIRST FCC: A Sport or Not?
FWIW, I've been playing chess for a number of years now. Every now and then some discussion about whether chess is a sport pops up in the chess community. Even though chess has been on ESPN (Kasparov vs X3DFritz), there are still very few who would actually consider chess a sport.
Soooo, let's remember that FIRST isn't the only competition trying to gain some momentum and gain some publicity. But calling it a sport is not a good way to do that. Anyone who defines FIRST as a sport is opening up a can of worms for stuff like chess to be considered a sport. And that's an argument that can't really be won.
