You say something like that, then when called on it, you write a whole paragraph which addresses everything but that. I should be used to it by now.

Can you spell Vaseline? As that is what you need as that is what the Principals should be using on you as they take complete advantage of your time and your services.

I do not need to deflect anything, I do not have to work for less than $30 a game like you do unless it is summer ball. What the heck do you mean what I would do? I would not be working games to undercut my fellow officials I can afford the nights off.

Varsity rate is actually $36 two man.

You said you would not work at this rate.

I said if you lived here you would or you would quit.

You said you would not quit.

You wouldn't work at this rate and you wouldn't quit.

What would you do then?

What part of this do you not understand?

I make double that for most games. If that does not tell you something, I do not know what would.

I worked a shootout this weekend and worked two games. The pay in that particular shootout was less than most from a per game fee standpoint and you would have to work 3 games just to make what I did on Saturday.

Nope.

I do not just work HS ball and HS ball is not the only level someone can work in this country.

It seems you are having the problem understanding. Everything I just stated (above) was not the first time I said those things in this thread.

It tells me that you shoot your mouth off about things, paint yourself into a corner, and then either ignore direct questions until the other person grows weary, or disappear from the thread. I've grown weary. You win.

How did I paint myself into a corner?

For one nothing we are talking about is going to change my officiating life. I have answered your little silly hypothetical and told you how I feel.

You damn right I win, you would have to work two games to make close to what I make for a single game. How do you like them apples?

Peace
