I get that. The family store used to be surrounded by farmland here. No longer.
And, this image has reached beyond the rural land and into the FRC community. The FRC community is made up of many teams from many places. Names certainly can reflect where the team's roots are, that is true. Just make sure the team image is one that girls, educators, administrators, sponsors, and other communities rich with diversity, will understand, accept, and support.
Stereotypes are a challenge in today's society without helping to cultivate them. That is all that I am saying.
