[low-key]

did you wear a cup ?

I did not, even if required, I was not putting that strange apparatus on me

I am not a man, but felt compelled to click on the thread...I make my son wear a cup...for hockey. But it's not a strange apparatus but more like bike shorts with a cup in them?

Yes, but like I said, they're not like regular jock straps, more like shorts with a cup in them? I like talking about music better, lol!

Like, don't you want to ask if I have a song that relates to an athletic supporter???

So, I'm going to post this, since I'm listening to it as I read the disboards and this thread and honestly, Thomas Dolby should be wearing a cup to do this video! There's a lot going on here...

Ok, I wasn't speaking quite literally! lol! I was just listening to this and relating it to you "word" threads and thinking that this song has a lot going on...so maybe he should be wearing a cup...figuratively speaking, of course....I will think harder about the cup theme...

I’ve worn them, but sports weren’t involved.

My son played sports all his life and always wore one.

As a young adults (20s) - played softball/baseball (whatever it's called). I did not even have to tell him, he wore one. Better safe than sorry.

 

[Jdbsfw]

Not really. Never wore a cup playing football and rarely wore a cup playing baseball

 

[Praying Colonel]

I was a catcher. It was easy to get hit. So, very much yes.

 

[rer1972]

Hardly ever wore one playing baseball. Always wore/wear one playing ice hockey. The puck isn't always the issue. It's getting cup checked while the ref is skating away.

My 13 year old is a lacrosse goalie, so heck yeah he wears one! Along with a ton of other padding. Those solid rubber balls come at him fast and they hurt!

Both of my boys wear/wore cups for lacrosse (DS18 played defense) even out of goal because body checking and hitting with the stick is allowed, and again...that ball is unpredictable.

Both wore cups for football (d-line) but many of the skilled position players on DS's team did not.

You don’t wear a cup for basketball or track so some sports require and others don’t. Baseball, football, hockey require by regulation in school sports while basketball and cross country, etc of course do not.

It used to be common for a coach to hit you in the groin area to ensure you were wearing a cup in sports where required.

My sons did for football but not their other sports.
