[moderated] Sportsmanship!

[Tyler Olds]

Okay folks...........

Watching the Portland regional finals really set me over the edge, and I have been hearing of other occasions of poor sportsmanship.

First off, at the Portland Regional.........

Booing the referee's decision....... especially when it’s ANDY BAKER!!! I mean for Christ sake people, don't you know what a god he is (and the decision was the right call weather you think so or not)?!?!?!?!!?

The referees are doing the best job that they can do. They volunteer their time for us! So please quit complaining

Just remember that when you have poor sportsmanship, or have no gracious professionalism, you are making your self look bad, your team bad, your sponsors look bad, and FIRST looks bad!!!!

There has been other bad sportsmanship that I have been hearing about at the regionals, and I am very disappointed. This is FIRST people; you are supposed to have fun!!! I know what it is like to be DQ'd in the finals but there is no reason to be stupid and not act mature over it. It happened, get over it.

Please help celebrate the idea of gracious professionalism and let’s have a great year people!
