The analogy is valid:
You are standing on the sidelines at a locals football game where anyone is invited to play. They are starting the game, and a player walks by you and asks are you playing or not? You either are or you aren't. It's really that simple because in a few more seconds the reality of either choice will be concreted: you will be playing or you will not be playing in the next part of the game. No time for some deep discussion or talk of wages or checking the weather, you are in or out. That simple.
Once again you are side stepping the initial argument by equating "yes or no" with "right or wrong." These are two completely separate and mutually exclusive arguments. "Yes or no" is a very simple binary statement that, as you state, can obviously only have one answer or the other, that was not what you originally offered. We're talking about the right and wrong of playing on the football team, not whether or not you're playing football.
