Re: Regionalism? Who Knows?

All of us merely have opinions.
I have officiated in Arizona, Mississippi, Nevada, Maryland and Washington DC for HS games.
Add West Virginia, Virginia and Utah for college.

Although I agree 100% that officials are different across the country I don't agree with JRUT's way of using this way more than the question is asked. It is almost used like a negative when something is done different in another part of the country. I can understand giving T's, talking and all of that because I think I can communicate either way. I just don't like for the same thing, or at least this thing , to be a negative whether it applies to me or not.
