Much to the dismay of many posters to this message board, and like my role model, the great 45th and 47th President Donald Trump, great men cannot be kept down! After a year of inactivity, I have decided that the many posters to this message board, even though most do not deserve it, will receive the honor and privilege or my brilliance, logic, reason, and overall great knowledge of high school officiating! I have educated, informed, taught lessons, and inspired many, and the like the great American and inspiration, President Donald Trump, I will not be denied! I don't care what any poster has to say, and I will hold any poster accountable on the subject of high school officiating. You're welcome, and the honor and privilege is all yours!

Do you understand how much you come over as a total a^^ hole?

Perhaps you get some kind of grotesque high off of being like that. I cannot help you as I am not a medic. 

Needless to say, this is my first and last response to anything you may post for the remaining time I post on this message board. 

Thank you for another great compliment DarterBlue2! I know how much that you have learned from my brilliance, logic, reason, and overall knowledge. You're welcome for that, and I know that you missed me while I was gone.

What was this even about

Many posters to this message board hate me with a passion and wish that I was physically harmed because I have patiently tried to explain how high school officiating works, and what high school officials are looking for and tasked with providing during a game. Also, I do not share the same political beliefs as the majority of posters to this message board (even though the majority of Americans share my beliefs as was proven on November 5th), so they have gotten me banned for a while, and try to run me off by insulting me (which I consider a compliment) and questioning my very existence. I am the most hated poster to the FloridaHSFootball message board!

YET being the operative word.  If you stick to X's and O's, rules and regs, scores, team rankings, etc. without the over-the-top rhetoric that sounds like talking down to people you might find a little more sympathy.  In particular, stop leaning into political discussions as this is clearly not what this site is about (Yes, I know others can't help themselves either) and you can be another perspective to this forum which is what it should be about.  Lastly, if you choose not to please don't blame others for getting you banned as you have only done it to yourself.  Hope you decide to participate in a meaningful way.

That is NOT going to happen with me. I do not need or want anyone's sympathy, and I just noticed our great Governor criticized recently on this message board, so I am not the only person discussing politics on this message board. No one is going to tell me what I can and can't say on this message board. The only thing that can happen to me would be that I could be banned, which is possible with the hypocritical "standards and rules" established on the message board.

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
