Quitting is Always an Option Janet Kuypers 9/6/12 someone explain to me why a t-shirt company prints the phrase “TAP OUT” everywhere, and people want to buy it. I’m sorry, but “tap out” is what losers do in a wrestling match when they can’t take the pain anymore and they want to quit. They tap out. So why do people want to purchase and wear a t-shirt that advertises that they want to quit?
