I think he is on board with your plan. He had those Adidas shorts stretched so wide a couple of ball girls (you & I) could climb on in & be on hand to adjust as needed during the match. Pun intended. ;) @Mrs. Nesta

Plus these blokes are BLOKES;many men's hands are never far away from their crotch anyway and adjusting/touching/arranging is just natural. Re footballers adjusting themselves on the pitch "for all the world" to see... I say YES! Be natural, lads, go for it. In my opinion we need to see MORE!

In everyday gear, the bloke slips his hand into his pocket and discreetly has a fiddle. (Ever wondered why bloke's trouser pockets always develop holes?) But in his kit he has to dive down the front in full view. Adidas et al could get round this by constructing little side slits on the hips of the shorts so as to give the guys a little camouflage, but personally I'm glad they haven't. Any piccy of Stevie G with a hand on his best tackle is just doodle-dandy by me. It's called playing pocket billiards, isn't it?

I mean, take the on-pitch action as an example: Stevie G here manually n' personally checks if his boys r still in the cage but at the end of the match he shakes hands wth other players??or helps another player up? ew! btw, Eric and Deen, thnx 4 the clarrification!I always thought it was jst another vulgar and disgusting male habit :) but isn't it gross for other men?

In order: - How is re-adjustment different than protecting one’s self whilst placed in the wall? Readjustment doesn't really require a time or place. It's habit. Protecting yourself in the wall is precisely that: guarding the jewels. They hurt when tampered with in that manner. True story. - Done in shorts = forgivable. In spandex = peppersprayable. Why? Modesty. Besides, any male in spandex should be pepper sprayed or reported to child protection services on principle. - Would you rather these guys take the extra two minutes in the tunnel to rearrange themselves away from the lenses or just grope-on-the-go in 2 seconds to get the job done right? Your preferences don't matter. Hands and the "crotchal" region are like magnets... As a 26 year old man (and sometime midfield maestro), I feel qualified to answer your questions. In order:
