Yes.
CLARIFICATION: This means that this person primarily played a *team* sport, not an individual event not contested as a team. Is that right?

(For example, football, hockey, basketball are team sports; horse racing, darts, and powerlifting are not "team sports")
Potato, potato; potato.

This is question #20. I'm about to take a multiple-hour flight. I'll leave free guesses open until I land, and then answer this question.
