We've gone over this before. The vast vast majority of members on this forum work nothing higher than high school games. If you ask a question on here you are going to get NFHS (high school) responses. If you post on here then you must change your view of the rules. I would say more than 90% of the posts on here deal with NF rules, about 9% deal with NCAA rules, and the other 1% are split between Canadian rules and NFL.

And another 0.2% miscellaneous like AFA. It's not a non-random sample here, just that a lot more games are played by Fed rules than those others.

i'm aware of this, but where else would i go that isn't filled with teens, and where they have nfl and nba sections on the same forum? and i'm sure most of you watch major sports, i mean how could you not, so at the very least i'm discussing sports with adults.

Isn't this was Google is for? I am sure most here would not know or care. Most here are interested in talking plays from an officiating perspective. Talking to fans is very frustrating and pointless in many cases.

well people will have to agree to disagree with me then, because to me, an OFFICIATING forum is the place to discuss rules and plays from any league. on the main page, it doesn't say 'high school basketball', it just says 'basketball'. same for all the other sports. if it said the former, i wouldn't have joined. and yes, i did use google, to find this place. the reason why it's mostly high school is simply because you're not going to find nba/nfl/nhl/mlb refs discussing things on forums. i don't know why, you just won't, at least not nearly as much as other "regular" people like you guys.

btw, to the guy above me, i like your signature. took me a second to get it, but now i got it.

This is not about you agreeing or not. You can discuss those things, but you are not going to get answers from people that work the pro levels. In some cases many here do not watch those levels or care what happens with them. It does not have to say "high school" to know that the people you are dealing with is not directly involved in those levels.

true. i just ask you guys don't be so closed minded and negative about pro sports and/or my discussions of them. this is a national forum, and pro sports are national, so when one of us discusses a play, there's a much greater chance several of us actually saw the play, especially for the nfl. btw, i feel so stupid about your signature; i've heard it like 30 times and just didn't realize it. although i don't know you at all, i never would have guessed you listened to jay z or the like.
