Supporting the FIRST organization through growing pains

[470-RBTX]

As a precursor to what I have to say I want to acknowledge that the field issues were in no way "okay," it's a shame that the playing experience on Einstein was tainted for all.

But with that said, we as members of FIRST need to continue to support the organization we know and love. Dean and Woodie were visibly upset and under immense amounts of stress during the finals, And I can't even imagine the anger that the teams effected must have felt, but what we all have to remember is that FIRST is still in it's infancy. The MLB has had almost 150 years to pull off successful world series' yet to this day you'll still find blown calls. With FIRST just 20 years young and filled with so much potential it'd be a shame to let this hinder it's growth.

If FIRST still has these problems when teams start having 5 digit numbers then we can gripe and complain, but for now it's nothing but a growing pain.
