Tomi Lahren weighs in on MLB's decision to warn players after they wrote Bible verses on Pride-themed caps, sparking a debate over free expression, religion, and the role of social messaging in sports.

Men around the country are still wincing from the sight of New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. fouling a pitch straight into his own groin.

It was bad enough that Chisholm had to leave the game, and it left many wondering why he wasn't wearing a cup to protect himself.

Well, now we have an answer.

Yankees beat writer Gary Philips shared some quotes from Chisholm explaining why he wasn't a cup guy before taking a foul ball to the cojones, and why he isn't going to be a cup guy moving forward.

Chisholm said that the pain level was a "million," and that, "If you ever got hit in the testicles, you would know."

Most males reading this just nodded at that statement.

But Chisholm revealed that despite cups being mandatory in the minor leagues, he still skipped them and will continue to because he trusts his own defensive abilities.

"I've never worn a cup," he said. "I've never been hit in the balls. That was just unlucky."

Now, there are times when I wonder why men don't wear cups all the time just for some peace of mind (I feel that way about helmets too). You wouldn't regret not wearing a cup until the moment you're at a cookout and a rogue volleyball puts you in shambles.
