The chairman of the association tells his members not to throw in the towel.
To "throw in the towel" is a common idiom meaning to admit defeat or to stop trying to do something because you know you cannot succeed. This phrase comes from boxing; when a fighter's coach sees their athlete is too injured or exhausted to continue, they literally throw a towel into the ring to signal a forfeit.
