The whole situation is sad. In 10-12 years J.D. may have a 9-10 year-old son or daughter and he'll be explaining the YouTube, which will probably live forever. So I feel bad for him.
I can't imagine how hard this will be on future JD and his children!
Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Lots of us do dumb things in our youth. Most of those things are not recorded on YouTube. Maybe J.D. will be fine with what he's got recorded.

I always laugh when people act indignant about naughty words beligerent fans.
Big deal. It's football.

Who's indignant? You're right, players and coaches all talk that way in all sports. My comment was inspired by Hans Olson, who spent some time on his show Monday talking about the J.D. YouTube F-bomb. Hans basically said he himself uttered a few of those himself when he was playing at BYU, but he was glad it was in the pre-YouTube/smartphone era and that none of them were recorded for all the world to see, forever. He opined that players need to learn after a loss on an opposing field to just look straight ahead, keep their helmets on, and get off the field and into the locker room ASAP. He was very sympathetic to J.D. and felt bad for him. Also noted that for most players this would not be anything even worth noticing, but that J.D. plays for BYU, was wearing the BYU uniform, etc., etc.

If JD's kids have any of the fire that JD displays, a youtube video of their dad dropping the f-bomb like that will do nothing but improve his "street cred" with his kids.
