    There is a place up on Bolton street, dunno what the selection is like as I have only noticed it when driving by. Unless you built like a fighter the majority of these clothes will fit you pretty bad though.

    Ebay would be the best place to get Tapout and other MMA stuff.

    I wear the odd tapout t shirt, but I don't support homophobia and mysogyny, and it appears I want to be that guy
    or maybe I just like the logo and t shirts ?

    Indeed. I don't wear that sort of clothing myself, but I find it funny when people criticise it, and it's mainly people who train in MMA too, although that could be in part due to the average person just not having an opinion on the matter

    The fact that Tapout have supported so many fighters who needed that support, guys on the lower levels of MMA, I think that it's good to support them too

    Ah people can wear what they want I just think they're aimed at the lowest common denominator.

    Obviously that's relevant in some way, what it could possibly be I don't know.

    They aim low to try to make as many middle class kids think that they're being "street" or "tough" by wearing the gear. They're not the first to do it and they won't be the last. My comments were throwaway anyway and I wasn't really trying to get at anyone. If you found out Shell were clubbin baby seals to get to new oil deposits you probably wouldn't support their petrol, I've seen Tapout ads that support gang rape so I won't be buying their gear.

    My mistake it was actually date rape by multiple people... so only a form of gang rape. In a mag, showed a bunch of lads standing around a passed out girl with something like a what would tapout do? theme to it.

    The brand started out as guys selling t-shirts out of the back of a car after mma gigs. Im sure you could support worse companys than tapout to be honest. For example adidas or nike runners, which have been made in labour camps.

    Don't have one, it was on the old UG forum if that's any help.

    I don't believe you. So you're saying that Tapout endorsed "date rape by multiple people"? First you say they promoted "gang rape", then it's "date rape" - you throw those phrases around casually, and they're both serious accusations! Then people ask you for proof & you have none - probably because you're making it up for shock value - maybe you just don't like Tapout or something. Any adverts I've ever seen for Tapout have never even hinted at anything close to this ridiculous crap you're spouting. Same goes for anyone else who replied here - you seem to be the only one who has seen these adverts!

    That's like me saying "hey, did anyone see those child porn ads Coca Cola did a few months ago" - yet I have no proof, it's far fetched, the notion is ridiculous, and nobody else has ever seen anything close.

    You can't just make stupid throwaway comments like that - it's slander: so get proof, or you're full of sh*t.

    BTW - I don't even like Tapout, but I'll call out anyone who spouts ridiculous slanderous garbage.

    If it was on the UG, perhaps it was just a joke created by someone who posts there?

    Although Roper did say that it was in a magazine originally :pac:

    There's a good chance it was, but as I recall there was a mag pic posted with it.

    I actually really don't care about this enough to be proven right so you guys should go ahead and assume I'm wrong.

    Then maybe you shouldn't go around spreading stupid rumours that are clearly false.

    How would you like if someone starting making vicious rumours up about your MA school? Then when they were asked to prove their claims, they said the simply weren't arsed. I assume you'd be fine with it, since you have no problem doing it to other people.
