Because our skeleton works in moving our body, being without them would make us immobile. This would also render all skeletal muscles useless as the skeletal muscle works directly with the skeleton. If we also included the auditory ossicles, then we wouldn't be able to hear anything because the vibrations from outside cannot be passed on to the cochlea and eventually to the brain.

In addition, skeleton also provides a great amount of protection. Without skeleton, all organs would become much more vulnerable to cuts and bruises, as well as diseases. Some of the most critical parts of the body such as the spinal cord and the brain will be exposed and easily damaged if we didn't have our skeleton.

Our body will also have a major calcium shortage as large quantities of calcium are stored within our bones.

Without bones, Our limbs may become vestigial as they cannot move. It is also possible that without the support from the vertebra, the weight of the head will cause severe damage to the spinal cord, possibly death (though there can be many other complications leading to death if there were no skeletons).

Would you be able to play football without a skeleton?

The skeleton provides structure to the human body. Without that structure, you would just be a lumpy mass of skin and goo. I would think that it would be awfully difficult to play football without a skeleton.
