Super Bowl 'Towel War' Means More Work for People with Disabilities


Came across this story on disabilityscoop. Looks like people with disabilities will be busy in Wisconsin for the next few weeks

The towels that fans will wave in the stands at the Super Bowl next week will support not only the players on the field, but also people with developmental disabilities.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are famous for the so-called “Terrible Towel,” a golden rag that hails from the 1970s. It’s produced by a Wisconsin company that employs roughly 50 workers with disabilities who are currently churning out hundreds of thousands of towels in preparation for the big game.
Not to be outdone, the Packers are in the process of developing their own towel ahead of the Super Bowl, which could net even more work for the towel manufacturer and its employees with special needs
