The "Future" of the A 6 + 5

Who is going to officiate these games? I am certified and more importantly insured by the NFHS which covers games governed by the NFHS. I would not be insured if a game was in the KBF (Kurt Bryan Federation.)

I wonder where our boy is now that is was handing out lectures on what we could or could not say?

Now I am certainly not here touting KB's super federation...however the insurance issue is a non issue. If you look closely, the insurance the federation provides covers you anytime you are working a sport that the federation recognizes. Not just NFHS games. The way I read it, if you work YMCA football games your NFHS insurance covers you if you get hurt working the Y games as well...

Why would anyone complain about this?

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. If a bunch of schools want to go play this other game that has a passing resemblance to football, who cares? Let them, and I wish them all the success in the world.

Personally, I am full up on actual football games, and don't feel like reffing another sport, so I would pass on picking up any of this new sports games, but no skin off my back if they want to form their own club to play.

Heck, at that point they would not even need to pretend to respect the actual game of football, and could write the rules however they like for their new game. More power to them.

Exactly. I'm sure they'll find plenty of people who want to officiate football*. Sorta like soccer.
