Always wondered why the NFL doesn't ban sticky gloves.

They did ban "Stickum" back in 1981, a goopy adhesive players were dipping their hands/gloves in.

They are available to all teams, financially affordable, do not make the ball dirty, and they lead to more spectacular catches. Why would they consider banning them?
