Re: At Competition
Heck, I'll admit to swearing during the Detroit Competition. I'm not particularly proud of it, but my work environment (shop floor and machine shop) is one where it's a normal part of everyday speech.
Had someone pointed it out to me, I would have hastily apologized to them!
That's the right track to take. Let's face it - kids are going to hear this stuff well before high school and FIRST. Having them see someone politely address it is the best way to handle it. Trying to somehow ban or penalize people for it? That would be yet another rule that FIRST couldn't enforce.
I'd much rather have them cancel the contract of the DJ's who play the profanity-ridden rap at several of the events. Hearing it in the pits is one thing - broadcasting it to the world is quite another!
