"A person is going to get hit in the nuts from time to time. This is a normal hazard of living in the world, which is filled with stray blows in contact sports, waist-high furniture in dark rooms, out-of-order turnstiles, rowdy pets, and small children with timeless senses of humor. It is no moral failing to be smacked in the nuts."
"San Francisco's Jauan Jennings got punched in the nuts last week, by Carolina safety Tre'von Moehrig. Moehrig was suspended; sack attacks are frowned upon in polite society. Jennings was fined, too, ostensibly for retaliating, but in retrospect it was possibly because the NFL knew he deserved it somehow. Jennings brushed off the beef, saying "I was just responding to some childish behavior.""
"Oh, the Jennings junk went physically unassaulted in the 49ers' 26-8 win over the Browns, but that wasn't for a lack of yearning on Cleveland's part. DT Shelby Harris held court in the locker room and issued a proclamation on the desirability and merit of Jennings being struck in the balls with great force. Harris's ruling: "I see exactly why they punched him in the nuts, I'm surprised nobody punched him in the jaw yet.""
People occasionally endure accidental groin strikes; repeated incidents may reflect problematic behavior. San Francisco's Jauan Jennings was struck in the groin by Carolina safety Tre'von Moehrig; Moehrig was suspended while Jennings was fined, ostensibly for retaliating. Jennings dismissed the incident as a response to childish behavior. Later, Cleveland players said Jennings deserved such treatment, with Shelby Harris and Myles Garrett criticizing Jennings' timing and demeaning comments. Harris said he understood why Jennings was punched; Garrett described Jennings' remarks as demeaning and disparaging during an inappropriate moment when an opponent was injured. Trash-talk can provoke stronger reactions and public censure.
