Towel-Making Company Defends Chargers and Other AFC West News

The San Diego Chargers are being investigated by the NFL regarding the use of Stickum or similar substance. The entire controversy has probably been magnified by the fact that the Chargers were on a bye week.

The allegations revolve around the use of the team’s towels, and now, an Idaho-based towel company has come out in defense of the Chargers, according to Michael Gehlken of the U-T San Diego.

Per the report, the company that is defending the Chargers manufactures towels which emit a wax-based material that improves grip and repels moisture. The company’s response implies that their towels were being used by the Chargers and many other teams for the last decade.

As if the Chargers didn’t have enough to worry about, the sticky-substance controversy doesn’t seem to want to die. Hopefully, the NFL will conclude their investigation and the Chargers can move on to worrying about Philip Rivers and the pass defense.
