	Jock column - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jock columns, during World War II, were small combined-arms groups of armoured cars, artillery, and truck-borne infantry (Generally drawn from the seventh armored division) which were used, in Africa, by the British Army's Western Desert Force to harass Italian forces.
		The name comes from Lieutenant Colonel Jock Campbell.

	Where Have All the Jockstraps Gone? - The decline and fall of the athletic supporter. By Daniel Akst
		Bike Athletic, the jock's apparent inventor and primary distributor, claims that it has shipped 350 million supporters in the past 130 years.
		Bike claims the contraption was invented in 1874 as "support for the bicycle jockeys riding the cobblestone streets of Boston." The manly wisdom that has prevailed in locker rooms for more than a century is that wearing an athletic supporter protects you from getting a hernia.
		Jocks offer no protection against the relatively common inguinal hernia, in which a portion of the gut descends through the canal that contains the spermatic cord.

		Despite his campaign's frantic efforts to portray Kerry as the quintessential American jock, the candidate's selection of sports — snowboarding, windsurfing, ice hockey — does nothing to bolster that image.

		Our president — the true jock — allowed himself to be photographed soon after his spill, unashamed of the scrapes on his face.

	"Brokeback Mountain" as a Methaphor for Sports
		We have come a long way in the acceptance of gays in society, but sports still remain the final closet and the door is still firmly shut.
		As I watched “Brokeback Mountain,” much of the time with a lump in my throat, I flashed to contemporary sports and wondered how many closeted jocks were living their own version of Ennis and Jack.
		In sports, being labeled gay is perceived as tantamount to career suicide and athletes have gone out of their way to quash any rumor, as the Aikman case illustrates to the extreme.
