‘Throwing in the towel’ is quitting. Walking away. Giving up. Like Rockport did. And he was the biggest rah rah cheerleader in the place.
Take note that all of the people being critical of the team are still here, taking time out of their lives to do so. That’s the opposite of ‘throwing in the towel’.
Poor Rock. The kid gave it everything he had but at the end of the day it was just too much to overcome. To get pounded like he did day after day and yet keep coming back was "Rocky" like admirable. I sincerely hope he has found something better to do with the time and energy that he used to expend in here. Life's too short. Here's to Rockport, his new hobbies and his new lease on life.
The lessen here of course, is this: Under the Joneses, the Cowboys should always be a hobby and never a passion...like they used to be.
If we all emotionally invest ourselves like Rock did...the Joneses will sap the life out of us too.
