March Madness has started and the NBA playoffs are just around the corner. Which means it’s time to ask the question: why don’t basketball players wear athletic cups?
The answer, according to Dr. Stephen Strup, the chief of urology at the University of Kentucky, is comfort.
Remember those marketing videos we were talking about? In the spirit of spring training, and former MLB catcher John Baker saying such great things about us, we dove into our vaults to see if we had an appropriate video.
It's March and we have some exciting news to share! We just launched our first ever, Diamond Cup Check Challenge.
Here’s the Challenge….
Share your “Cup Check” on the social platform of your choice. We invite you to show us creative and entertaining ways how your Diamond protects you. Tag your post with @DiamondMMA or #DiamondCupCheck so we can check your check. Impress, surprise, and amaze us! Obviously the funniest, most entertaining, and creative pictures will be highlighted and rewarded. Whatchya got?
With spring training in full swing, it’s a great time to remember that Diamond’s jockstraps and athletic cups work for all athletes, including baseball players.
In fact, last fall we sent our groin protection system to former MLB catcher John Baker, who’s now with the Chicago Cubs as a baseball operations assistant.
He can’t say enough about the gear—and all of it’s good. In addition to the props he gives us on Twitter he went on record in this article on mixedmartialarts.com.
When we first launched Diamond MMA, we put together a series of marketing videos guaranteed to prove that we’d designed a groin protection system that beat the old school “jockstrap plus plastic athletic cup” competition hands down.
So, as the controversy continues about whether or not Ken Shamrock’s TKO loss to Royce Gracie in the first round of Bellator 149 was due to nut shot, instead of weighing in, we’re moving forward with our campaign to make sure that every athlete has the best possible protection for his package.
