First off, I don't want this to seem like I am bashing on the creators of Tapout Clothing or the FIGHTERS that are sponsored by them, I have nothing but respect for the original creators of Tapout... Punk and (the late great) Mask were selling shirts out of the back of their cars at ILLEGAL FIGHTS and worked their way up to Billion Dollar Status... NOTHING BUT RESPECT TO THEM. To the Fighters who wear their clothing, you are modern day gladiators, proudly representing a rich heritage of ass whoopins.
What I am hounding on is the subculture of jackasses who wear TAPOUT GEAR, who aren't fighters, grapplers, athletes, legitimate fans, or even NICE PEOPLE. I am hounding on the douche bag that went to an MMA School or BJJ school for two weeks, realized that their precious egos couldn't handle getting tapped out by trained killers, and quit... ONLY to throw on a TAPOUT shirt and walk around like they are Billy Badass, CREATING A NEGATIVE IMAGE for the MMA Community.
I'm not saying to stop wearing Tapout Clothing, NOT AT ALL... they make some cool shirts, and personally I have three rashguards that I use for Jiu Jitsu. I'm just saying, that when you wear a Tapout Shirt, you shouldn't ACT LIKE A DOUCHE because that is how everyone will see the MMA Subculture. MESSAGE: Quit acting like a douche IN GENERAL, but more importantly A TAPOUT SHIRT DOES NOT MAKE YOU TOUGH!
