YouTube comments? YouTube comments are dumb regardless of the subject. Don't take them to mean anything.

I know YouTube comments are dumb in general, but I'm talking about comments left by participators of FIRST on other FIRST teams' media, who I would expect to leave more intelligent comments and represent this organization better.

Youtube is a notorious cesspool of ill-behavior.
They think that being anonymous gives them the right to say whatever suits them and there is little to no moderator control (they are more concerned about copyrights then offensive comments). I have no answer for you about what to do about the comment except to simply rise above it.

1. Rise above the hate
2. Ignore obnoxious cesspool that is YouTube
3. Go to championships
4. Keep running your team as well as you currently are, but recognize room for improvements.
5. Make improvements
6. ???
7. PROFIT (or inspire; this is a non-profit organization)

Exactly, Youtube videos not limited to FIRST videos all have very rude comments on them. Youtube comments are just people sitting behind a computer trolling. You can thumbs down them to try to help the problem.

If I was a team receiving hateful comments like that I would go the route that 148 has, and just making videos uncommentable, but that's just me. That being said, a majority of the comments on 118 video do defend them, and attack others who are posting things described in the OP.
