The team may not take action against the student but the team itself risks being punished for the students idiotic and selfish behavior by other teams who will now not want anything to do with them because they are perceived as endorsing such boorish behavior.
As I have pointed out to students on the team before: alot of students and mentors who came years before them work many endless hours to build the X-Cats reputation up to the level that it is to have it torn down be them because they can't be bothered acting like they have sense.
Any student who really feels like having a real life Facebook status moment and just blurt out the first thing that comes into their mind should just do the right thing and take off the team shirt and withdraw from he team before dragging them down after all the hard work they have already put in. It's the least they can do.
