Abercrombie & Fitch is no longer selling a T-shirt that angered gymnasts, who claimed it was mocking the sport.
The clothing retailer recalled the shirt, which had the slogan "L is for Loser" next to a picture of a gymnast on the still rings, Thursday. It's no longer available in stores or on the company's website.
Abercrombie & Fitch did not return repeated phone calls Friday seeking comment from The Associated Press.
USA Gymnastics president Bob Colarossi asked Abercrombie & Fitch on Oct. 6 to stop selling the shirts. The sport's governing body also asked members to boycott the store until the T-shirt was pulled.
"No individual, regardless of race, gender, age, intelligence or athletic ability, can or should be deemed a loser," Colarossi wrote in a letter to Michael Jeffries, chief executive officer of Abercrombie & Fitch.
"Athletics as a whole, and gymnastics in particular, provides a great foundation in physical fitness and offers skills for a lifetime," Colarossi wrote.
This wasn't the first time Abercrombie & Fitch pulled T-shirts that caused a stir. In 2002, the company removed T-shirts after Asian-Americans complained about depictions of two slant-eyed men in conical hats and the slogan "Wong Brothers Laundry Service — Two Wongs Can Make it White."
