My officiating experience is not limited to or only subjected to Chicago area. I started my career in Central Illinois and until this year I would have worked more than one game in Central Illinois even while living in this area since 1999. If I wore a belt in other parts of the state, someone would have pointed it out in that part of the state too. You are so stuck on things I say having to do with one part of the state when clearly that is not the case. I work college too and people do not wear belts anywhere in college. You would get laughed out of any camp if you did just that. And officials are form Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio in my experiences and no one would dare put on a belt.
