someone who isn’t well versed in sport. Or not or interested in sport.

Me too!

I feel quite confident that there isn't any commonly used single word or phrase for that.

A couch potato is someone who spends most of their time watching television and does not exercise or have any interesting hobbies.

However, that doesn't cover the lack of interest in sport. Some couch potatoes are keen followers of sport on television.

The term "sportophile" appears across many social media sites but it's not a recognised English word.

If "sportophile" exists can "sportophobe" be far behind? (I hope not.)

Thanks @emsr2d2

I don't understand. If it exists already, how can it also be far behind?

Do you mean ‘sportophobe’, Tarheel?

That would be a sport hater. (You could join their club.)
