Some do, but most do not. While a cup is certainly a prudent precaution for professional players, the chances of getting kicked in the gonads are rare, and even so, would carry a severe penalty. Many soccer players do not wear a cup for the same reason that some police officers choose not to wear a bulletproof vest - comfort, flexibility, and mobility are all restricted.

I think that most Basketball players just wear a regular kind of a jockstrap without a cup. However, some high school basketball players wear a cup because they are concerned about getting hit in their sensitive area. When I played basketball in my teens, a couple of the guys on our team awlays wore a cup.

Yes, either with a cup for sports with direct contact, or just for support when running or playing non-contact sports.
Baseball players all wear a cup. Their bulge is misleading.
Yes, definitely. lots of ice hockey goalies wear two cups. A regular cup jock and then a special goalie cup over top of that. Usually the size and speed of the puck or ball being shot at the net determines wether a goalie would need to wear a goalie cup. Lacrosse and ice hockey goalies wear cups but soccer goalies generally dont wear a cup
No, what is used is called a "cup" ... a rather solid piece of hard plastic that helps to protect the male genitals. I haven't the foggiest idea what female baseball players wear for protection.
NFL Players wear cups. As a former NFL player, I got out of the league in 2007 and now play Arena ball, you would be crazy not to wear a cup. There are some teams that don't (I think the Eagles for the most part don't) but 90% of other players wear cups.
Yes we do wear cups
Yes you should. A hard cup should be worn during baseball to prevent injury.
No, girls do not need to wear a cup when catching baseball.
They wear compression shorts (spandex) with pockets in them so the can put their cup in it
They wear many.... you have your basic shoulder pads, knee pads, hip pads,thigh pads tail bone pads and your cup.
