Why? Can you tell me? I do not understand why we see adult (in the eyes of the government) men who feel the need to hit/punch/kick each other in such a sensitive area.

A story has arisen from a basketball player at George Mason University who, in the word of the article "punched" an opposing player between the legs. There was no foul called on the play, but he has been suspended, by his own school, for one game.

This continues to happen in college basketball mostly. Earlier this season Villanova University sophomore guard Kyle Lowry had his groin intentionally stepped on by an opposing player while he lay on the court after a play. Last season Wake Forest guard Chris Paul was suspended for one game for a "low blow" delivered to an opponent.

The young man from George Mason said that he lost his head "[i]n the heat of a tense game," a game George Mason lost, by the way. Maybe it is simply because I was never able to play at the collegiate level, but in nothing I do would I ever want to hit someone there.

I don't get it.
