Officiating philosophy

I'm curious to hear what you veteran posters think about Welmer's philosophy at the start of a game.

I don't think much of it at all. To suggest that home or visitor makes any difference in any call is basically a bad idea. Seems mainly like a guy showing off in front of the camera to me.

You do not care what we think, so why answer.

Peace

I don't know what a 150%-er call is, nor am I sure I know know what a 90%-er is.

When I see something that needs to be called, it is called. I don't care which team it is on, nor if it's a violation, foul, or held ball.

I also think the video is poor because not once did we see a pants-pull.

That's a production oversight that will be corrected in the editing room.
