I also did high school baseball in Iowa and those leagues you mentioned were not as big of an influence in youth baseball because those kids played high school during the summer.



I was just giving a perspective. Take it or leave it. Again, the NF is not doing something either way based on what we talk about here.



There are a lot of things that help me sleep at night and it does not involve talking to a dude on an internet site. But thanks for the concern.




For something to be understood it falls on you first. I was just commenting on the topic and not trying to make it conversation. But I have seen this movie before where people from Texas claim that everything they do is so great and everyone else should follow because it is not a problem there. Again, just giving a perspective of why that might not work for everyone. I also played football in Texas for a brief time and had another family member play there and get a D1 scholarship. I am very aware of how different Texas approaches youth football and other sports to where I have lived and officiated. Unless it has drastically changed, those issues would not go away.

Peace

I have lived and umpired in 6 states. An overwhelming majority of youth baseball is played under some OBR-based rules set. This is not the argument to make here.
