Thinking about it, pretty much all the blokes I've met through my son playing cricket (parents, coaches etc) are also into football. Struggling to think of one who isn't actually. Even those totally obsessed with cricket still follow football and most are pretty knowledgeable.
I can understand not being into football, but to live in Brighton and not know that Albion were promoted to the PL must really take some doing.
Men who don't like any sport are just plain weird. Almost as weird as the ones who only like rugby.
