Hello Katlyn,
to throw the towel is an expression coming from boxing. If the trainer of a boxers sees, that the boxer during a fight got hurt or is in danger to get badly hurt, the trainer throws the towel into the ring to stop the fight immediately. In this case, the boxer looses this fight, but his health is safe.
Kind regards, Michael
