Entertaining natural action and reaction

This is a collection of photographs of sporting events. Many are shots of situations that occasionally occur when humans are moving and physically interacting. A hand in another's crotch, one person on top of another, a player pulling another's pants down, various tumbles and shots from angles that give unusual appearances. I enjoyed nearly all the photos, the only ones that I think should have been left out are the pictures of the streakers. Not because I take any offense at the nudity, but because having the photos in a collection just encourages that behavior. People run nude at sporting events to get attention and the more attention the more that they will do it. Most television producers have wisely adopted the policy of not showing anyone who deliberately interrupts a sporting event and the photographic journalists should do the same. Outside of that objection, this is an entertaining collection of photos, showing athletes trying very hard at their profession, but in these cases, looking a bit silly
