While I appreciated the passion which he intended to convey, I found the words offensive and totally inappropriate.

It is a reflection of the culture which exists and which FIRST is trying to influence. There was nothing gracious nor professional about the comment.

Hopefully, he was confronted about the disrespectful language and will learn and mature from the experience.

I doubt that we'll hear it, but I think that a formal apology would be appropriate.
