Fair enough, I didn’t think about it in terms of fostering community. My concern is that news of this breaks through into the mainstream and then new people discover yo-yoing through this unfortunate event. That’d be a pretty bad scenario for people’s first impression to be about something like this. ---

It wasn’t an apology or a de-escalation, the NYYL members still ultimately posted the statement after the incident. ---

Sorry, what did I suggest? I was only wondering what he said immediately afterwards. Please do not put words in my mouth. I have enough trouble doing that myself. ---

No one and I’ll repeat. No one should be drinking alcohol at a YoYo contest… way too many kids for that to be appropriate time and place. So let’s assume sober which makes the statements not worse (it’s bad regardless) but more unhinged ---
