Is being a star football player a good reason to marry someone?

Les explains that the issue is not football itself; he notes he has nothing against football players and that a football player can be a good husband. The problem is using stardom as the basis for marriage. He recalls a young lady whose husband became a wife beater; when asked why she married him, she answered that he was the star football player. Les calls that a mighty poor criterion for husband material and as ridiculous as you can get, describing it as an unequal yoke. He also stresses that such problems began before marriage, and people do not change just because someone hopes they will.
