What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I will not dignify rude or disparaging comments with a response. I also will not entertain questions that use profanity. Football officials don't seek to “screw” any team Such an insinuation is ridiculous and ludicrous.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: First and foremost, questions & answers generated to me and from me are to be serious and legitimate– not editorial opinions or subjective comments. I have agreed to use my time & expertise to explain the game of football, the technical aspects of the game, its officiating, coaching and its historical evolution.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Football officials are the last bastion of integrity the game has.They are unbiased arbiters of the game whose only allegiance is to the game itself They are charged with the duty of equitably enforcing the rules & administering just penalties. They stand guardian over sportsmanship and player safety.When an official views a play he sees it with his eyes & processes it with reason through his mind

What do you like about this subject? Expert Witness in all matters arising from Football, coaching, officiating, assigning, scheduling and operating an officials' association. Civil & Criminal expert witness.
