There is no more iconic image at NFL games than to see a crowd of Pittsburgh Steelers fans waving those beautiful Terrible Towels. So you can’t fault the Washington Commanders for trying to copy one of the greatest traditions in the NFL when they decided to hand out their own rally towels before taking on the Steelers.
However, they perhaps should have let their staff know to be more selective about who they gave their faux towels to. As you can see from the video below, Washington staffers handed out towels to Steelers fans entering the stadium. With what is projected to be about 1/3 Steelers fans in the stadium, you can bet those towels aren’t getting waived.
