There could be other factors involved....unfortunately. If his association is directing him to go somewhere, he might not have much choice but to go, other than making up an excuse to decline the games.

That's the problem when you get into situations like this and different officiating associations in a state with maybe different viewpoints are involved. Hopefully every official in each association was allowed their say and the majority rules, but there's a real world out there also.

Imo it's a no-brainer. If they don't do something, they'll be working for $36 a freaking game ten years from now. And also imo, unless they do do something about it, they really have no right to b!tch.

I know. I was just looking for an excuse to get in a cheap belt joke.

But, his belt might be expensive...

I kinda picture JAR wearing a belt with a buckle about the size of a hubcap off a Ford F150 pick-up.

Hell, if they're still using mid-80's 3-man mechanics, of course they'll still be wearing belts.
