Yes we do wear cups
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.
They wear compression shorts (spandex) with pockets in them so the can put their cup in it

According to Ripleley's Believe It or not there have been 1215 players in NFL history who were a "cup of coffee", an athlete who plays in only one game during his professional career
There is no rule here. More protection is a personal choice. An athletic store or a teammate can help you choose the right one. i dont think that they would have to, but definatley wear a cup. i know catchers have to but pitchers should because a teammate was pitching without a cup and got a line drive there, he was down for 15 min. i was pitching one time and got hit there by a line drive and it shattered my cup. i shudder to think what it would feel like if i didnt have a cup on.
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.
It depends a little on the player and position, but there are 10 basic pieces of equipment helmet, shoulder pads, a tailbone pad, 2 hip pads, 2 thigh pads, 2 knee pads, and a cup. Mouthguards are pretty much necessary, but not really a pad. Outside of that some players also opt to wear flack jackets, back and/or sternum plates, neck rolls, forearm pads. Some players do not wear a cup. (As a point of reference, virtually every major league baseball player wears a cup, while most NFL players do not.)
Because they are wearing protection there to keep that part of their anatomy safe.
They wear many.... you have your basic shoulder pads, knee pads, hip pads,thigh pads tail bone pads and your cup.
Because they need to distinguish themselves from the players on the pitch to avoid interfering in play.
Cricketers in Australia use a cup for protection.
It was India, their only time they reached it.
