Positioning

Here are my observations are the weight issue. Without a doubt there are refs who are fat who have far superior reffing skills than I have. I sometimes wonder if they are able to put those skills into action because they can't get to the position they need to be in to use those skills.

I also watch lots of varsity games. It is a strange sight seeing the kids running and gunning and the ref struggling to keep up .

I am 6 ft 3 and 230 lbs but in pretty decent shape. So i look like the poster child for the Republican party, sorry i'm a Democrat, much to my fathers frustration. LOL I believe people treat me different becuase of how I look. I believe I get instant credibility ,then they see me in action. LOL

My point is , of course it matters, whether thats fair or not well .........
