I would argue that unless he had stormed the stage and taken the microphone out of someone else's hands, he was addressing the crowd as a de-facto representative of FIRST. That was the point I was making when I referenced F-bombs in a job interview. Once you become associated with an organization (FIRST, an employer, etc.) it's not really possible to dissociate yourself from that organization at will (no pun intended).
I had a related thought: the use of profanity is prohibited on Chief Delphi (and yes, I verified that statement before I made it). So logically then doesn't the "profanity is no big deal; it's just passion" crowd want to see that policy changed on this forum? If not, then why not?
