Hmm.
Exercising without a sports bra would be uncomfortable all the time whereas a hit to the balls is occasional but extraordinarily painful. A hit in the balls is certainly a moment that you never forget and can have permanent, lifelong consequences though. Most cups don`t do much to stop it hurting though - they just prevent serious damage. Sports bras do make exercise much more comfortable but not having boobs I can't say by how much. Difficult to asses over a lifetime.
A cup prevents serious injury but doesn`t do much to stop the pain, a sports bra is for comfort and to prevent soreness but don't offer any protective benefits- they have different purposes I guess.
I'm going to go with cup because I have balls, I`ve been hit there and i`m quite attached to the wee fellas. Don't take it personally, girls - I still love boobs and want them to be happy :-)
it depends on the sport and how big the girls boobs are , some with small boobs could do without a sports bra but if she has big boobs it be a lot more necessary .
any guy is going to say need a cup if there like playing football or hockey I would think ?
A cup. Even if you're not doing something like fighting, there's always the chance of a guy getting hurt there. A ball could accidentally hit him in the crotch. It's annoying not to do sports without a sports bra, and if you have to run a lot then it can hurt, but I imagine that the pain a guy would feel if he accidentally got hit in the crotch would be much worse than the soreness from a girl not wearing a sports bra.
I think they could both have their importance, guys for the obvious reasons and well I couldn't imagine trying to play a sport without a sports bra, maybe a smaller chest but I would think even a smaller boob would need the support not to be impaired but can't confirm.

You can get by in most sports without a cup, but it does suck when you take a slap shot to the nads... I can attest to that. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.
i don't know, if you have big boobs, all exercise is extremely uncomfortable without a good sports bra, where as men only need cups for certain sports, but the consequences of not having them in those sprts could be more serious...
definitely a cup for guys, I like a supportive sports bra for myself.
Cups are important only in the situation when you're being kicked in the balls, which doesn't happen in most sports, it's not a constant thing. Bras are important the entire time because having boobs sucks.
they both have their place but the consequence for needing and not having a cup can be very severe.
boobs aren't needed to reproduce, so probably a cup, so we can still reproduce
a cup to protect them nuts lol
