    I don't know about supervisor. But I do know I am your superior. BTW, I also know you are an insecure, unpleasant person though I have never met you in person. 

    DarterBlue2, even though you are NOT my superior, I never had the chance to thank you for the very kind words and compliments that you have used to describe me in this post. It makes me feel very proud, and does my heart good to know that this is what you really think about me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    At least 5 other members of the forum seem to appreciate and most importantly not feel intimidated by my comments. Sorry for your singular fragility. You should see someone about it.

    None of those 5 other members of the message board are qualified to rate or critique officials or officiating either, so their opinions are irrelevant. In fact, other than me, there is only one poster to this message board who might be qualified, and I respect his opinion, point-of-view, and what he has to say a lot more than any other poster, especially you.

    ..."the less I have to deal with People (leftist) who have those beliefs, the better."  The vast majority of black coaches in Florida are lefty Democrats. You would never hold that against them while refereeing or umpiring a game would you ? Your preconceived biased stripes are now known before you walk on the field!  Your post proves it. Please explain  

    I am thankful and grateful that the vast majority of residents in Florida are not "leftist/lefty Democrats."

    And he can really put the "fries" away. 

    Dan comes out of hibernation to comment on the infamous lunch. I wonder if Dan will admit to all the lessons and education that he received that day? I know that it was one of the most memorable meals of Dan's life.  Dan did pay for my meal, so I do owe Dan a meal at Red Robin in the near future.

    High school football officiating plays a pivotal role in the integrity and safety of the game. It's a demanding and often underappreciated responsibility that deserves our recognition and support.

    First and foremost, high school football officials are entrusted with upholding the rules of the game. Their knowledge of the rulebook and their ability to make quick, accurate decisions on the field are crucial in maintaining a fair and competitive environment for student-athletes. These officials are the guardians of the game's integrity, ensuring that every player has an equal opportunity to succeed.

    Moreover, officiating in high school football is not just about enforcing rules; it's also about promoting sportsmanship and respect among players, coaches, and fans. Officials serve as role models, demonstrating the importance of fair play, discipline, and teamwork. Their presence on the field goes beyond signaling penalties; it sets the tone for how the game should be played and watched.

    It's essential to remember that high school football officiating is often a thankless job. These individuals dedicate countless hours to studying the rulebook, attending training sessions, and officiating games, all while facing criticism and sometimes even hostility from passionate fans and coaches. Despite these challenges, they persevere because of their love for the sport and their commitment to the young athletes who take the field.

    To improve high school football officiating, it's crucial for communities, schools, and athletic associations to provide ongoing training and support for officials. This includes mentorship programs, regular feedback, and fair compensation for their time and efforts. Recognizing the importance of their role and showing appreciation can go a long way in attracting and retaining qualified officials.

    In conclusion, high school football officiating is an essential component of the sport, ensuring fairness, safety, and sportsmanship. Let's acknowledge the dedication of these individuals and work together to support their efforts in making high school football a positive and enriching experience for all involved.

    This is a great post. Welcome to the message board, Hssports. You have made more great points in this one post than several other posters have made in years of posting to this message board. Thank you again.

    Jambun you are more than welcome for me calling you a TURD....Whenever you need another  "compliment" just let me know. I got a bunch for people like you.

    That is good to read. Keep the compliments coming. Since you are not qualified to critique or rate officials or officiating, complimenting me seems to be something that you might have some knowledge of, maybe.

    That part right there is what drives coaches crazy on the sidelines. I will add that most officials seem to not have egos and are in it for the kids. I guess the same can be said for coaches as well.

    You are as qualified as Longtime Observer to rate and critique high school officials or officiating. That means not-at-all.

    Well, first, your opinion as to my qualifications or lack thereof is irrelevant to my freedom to criticize or question officiating. You don't have the authority to tell me I can't question or criticize officiating. That you seem to think you do have this authority is revealing of problems with the mindset held by at least some officials.

    Second, the point I'm driving home here is about how, despite the rulebooks saying the same things, how holding and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are called in high school is quite different from college or the pros. What this means is that you, and other officials like you, are disagreeing not with me or other fans...but with other officials at levels of the game superior to yours. And so that means you'd actually end up debating those more high qualified officials over how/when to enforce these penalties. So, I've been trying to get you to tell us what kinds of points you'd make to these more highly qualified officials to justify your different approach to enforcement. That you won't do it only serves to demonstrate the problems in how high school officials see themselves and their roles in the games. 

      

    I will repeat this again. You have no qualifications and are not qualified to critique and rate high school officials or officiating. You don't know anything about the subject, you think that you know, but you don't know, and you NEVER WILL.

    I repeat, you know nothing about high school officiating, and you never will. Thankfully, officials do not have to deal with people like you too often.

    I agree refs should be compensated fairly but thats on you guys. Come together & form an association where you actually have some power. Til then the ppl are gonna complain when games are being rigged or called unfairly. Sad but its what it is, either respect it & see to change or get on here & act like the police. Either way nothing won’t change til the officials come together & change it. 

    There would be no High School Football games if that happened.
