You know, funny thing...
The only sports bet I have ever been involved in went as follows:
"You know, I bet you Andrew couldn't name three sports teams if his life depended on it."
"Oh please, no one is that clueless about sports."
"Bet you fifty bucks. You pick any sport you like. If he can name three teams that play it professionally, you win."
"You're on."
<friends come over to my house>
"Hey Andrew, how many football teams can you name?"
"Uh... the, uh... I think my dad gave me a bag that said Oakland Raiders one time. And the Cowboys. I remember them because my mother's family hated the Cowboys. I think that's it."
"Basketball teams?"
"Lakers and Celtics."
"Any others?"
"Not a clue. Lakers and Celtics are what they mention in the movie Airplane*."
"Baseball?"
"The Yankees. I think they had some thing going with a team called the Mets. I'm not sure about any others. I want to say there's one that has something to do with socks, but I don't know. I don't really watch baseball."
"You suck, Andrew."
"Only at sports and after someone buys me champagne and lobster."

So yeah, you're sort of lucky this particular atheist even knows you're referring to a sport, and not scratching his head wondering why you would be forcing insects from India to fight insects from England in a cup.

Do atheists think that England will beat India in the cricket world cup?
