Football Pads, Helmets & Playbooks

Even if you never played football…you will get this. So, the question is:  would you expect players to play without football pads? Without helmets? Without a playbook? How about playing football without a time clock? Without knowing the rules, how many downs you get, how many points do you get for a touchdown? It would be very silly to try and play football without all this stuff or without knowing all these rules. So, getting a divorce and going to court without knowing the law and the rules and without having the papers, exhibits,  and other documents…how well do you think you’d do? About the same as the football player who goes into the game without pads, helmet, knowledge of the play, and how to play ? Yes, that sums it up…you will get beat and it won’t be pretty.
