Question

Do rugby players - and may football players - still wear jock straps - if not what?

Answer 1

Jock straps sometimes, but usually cups. There's no way you could play a contact sport like rugby or football and not wear a cup...ouch

Answer 2

Some football players swear by the jock straps, others don't...all in personal preference. As for rugby, i would love to see someone wearing a cup or a strap out on the field. About the time they got naked everyone would be making fun of them. Zooloo's would be hilarious. Alot of the guys on my team just wear compression shorts to keep it all in...it seems to be pretty popular just so that your junk doesn't fall out during line outs for jumpers. Only the old school guys forget these, or your local drunk rugger.

Answer 3

i dont know any guys that wear jock straps or cups and play rugby.  Compared to how many rugby players ive seen gettting naked, I havent seen nearly as many american football players take off their pants and i've never seen any football (soccer) players take off their pants... so i dont know about those sports.  but anything hard plastic is not allowed on the rugby field... and im guessing that would go for cups too.  i guess some guys might use a jock strap for support but most wear compression shorts (underarmour) or tighter panties (ha ha) if they need more support.  I know guys that play commando or in boxers... and that's i'm SURE what makes them manly men... ha ha! ( its not because they aren't well endowed!)

Answer 4

What the h**l is a jock strap ?

I've played rugby for 14 years and i've never met anyone who plays with one of those. The only protection i use is a gumshield and tape over my ears.
