I may be placing too much emphasis on particular words or interpreting them differently. I feel that if someone views the game unimportant they are less likely to give it their best effort (again, just my opinion).

My view may change over time, but not likely. Maybe I will develop the skill of giving 100% effort in a game I don't view as a very very important game...in a way, I hope I don't.
I think all I have ever tried to get across, is that everyone does not see things the same way. You might feel the word important means one thing to you, and what is important to me or someone else might be completely different.

When I do a game it is always important for me to do my best. But because I have other goals in life and officiating, doing a Freshman B game is not going to be the biggest prioity on my list. I might actually dread the experience (usually for many other reasons not associatied directly with the game) but put my best foot forward at the very same time.

Peace
