No offense, but it sounds like someone needs to take the chip off their shoulder. You're advertising that you're a tough guy when you wear those, and of course you know it. Just like if you wear a Bad Boyz shirt in a bar or something, there are always going to be talkers.
I would not sweat what some 14 year old kid says to me, but then again I would only wear Tapout shorts if they sponsored me.
