 | When I was young, it was a rite of passage into manhood to get your first jockstrap...and they were worn for most sports...but I hardly ever see a guy wearing one these days (in the UK) yet sports stores still sell them, so someone must be buying them. Some cricket players still wear them with hard cups (or boxes as we call them here) but I think they're out of fashion for football and rugby in the UK. What about in the US? I guess they're still worn for soccer, baseball, ice hockey etc? |

For many, perhaps most, activities the support isn't so important. Indeed, it can be a detriment. After all, allowing the jewels to hang free is enormously pleasurable. When I was in school it was de rigueur that swimming classes were done nude. I'm sure that there are many other athletic activities where that could be the case.

As an American (and one that doesn't follow sports except to look for photos of cute athletes) I'm not sure exactly what British football and rugby are. But the internet is rife with photos of men playing some kind of ball game wearing short pants with nothing underneath. Often something hangs out a leg opening or those shorts get pulled down. It would appear that a jockstrap or any other kind of undergarment is entirely superfluous for these games.
