I move just as quickly to protect my nuts from damage as my face.

True, but there's a difference here. I've been hit in the head, face, shoulder, chest, etc. with all sorts of crap -- whether officiating or doing something else. Luckily, nothing was hard enough to cause serious injury. Usually, it was painful, but not always. On the other hand, I've been tagged LIGHTLY below the belt on a couple of occasions and I was out of commission for 15 minutes. Once while doing intramural softball, a first baseman misplayed a very hard hit hop and it went off his glove and glazed off my jaw (I was probably 5-7 feet away). It didn't hurt, really, but I've had that same kind of thing go off the nuts and really hurt.
Maybe some of you guys are more numb down there!
