Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker vouches for a man because he plays football, assuming that footballers know how to treat a woman properly. This is the speaker's own sweeping generalisation, offered as though the sport guarantees good manners. The confidence of the claim, resting on a job description, is what gives it flavour.
