I don't know how accurate the initial article is, being it is based on a tweet mentioned July 28th 2017. But the Snopes article is based on something that happened after the first game of last season. I do not think the two are related. The tweet might be part of the reference to the Cowboys picking Luke McCown over Kapernick this past weekend as a 3rd quarterback. Which coaches said was due to coachability.
It's not specifically for this article. This article is just a perpetuation of the fake news. And everybody's falling for it.
The fact that they are standing, immediately brands them as 'apostates' worthy of a shunning from all the other Jehovah Witness baseball enthusiasts in the stadium. No way they get into the Kingdom of Heaven with the other 144,000 lucky souls. No way.My brother and sister in law are Jehovah Witness. When they come to the baseball games with us, they stand for the anthem. They don't salute or anything. But they are respectful of the people there.
Their job function is entertainment and standing for the anthem is part of the show.I've never heard of one, but if an employee can prove it exists and he follows that religion, he would not be required to stand.
You can't prohibit employment if his religion does not permit activities which are not germane to his job functions.
I didn't know Kaepernick and Chris Jackson(Mahmoud Abdul Rauf) trolled this board.In before someone wants to bash Jerry Jones over this...
Apparently that's worthy of a dislike, though.
What if your religion forbids it (Jehovah's Witness, for example)? Is he going to discriminate based on religion? As much as I oppose the "stance" and statement that guys like Kapernick (sp?) were making, I don't see this going well for Jerry.
I wasn't taking sides, I was just offering up a scenario and asking a question. Apparently that's worthy of a dislike, though.
Makes you happy, doesn't it? You going to kneel again this year?

Gotta love the religion that likes the Monster truck show but can't stand for the national anthem.
Yeah, I think that's more of a dislike for our countrie's traditions than religious limits.
Yes, that one. So, are you going to kneel again or do you feel you made your point?Kneel? For the anthem? For the flag that our fathers and brothers have bled for?

Sensitive bunch here. Personal beliefs and differing ideologies don't matter, MURICA FIRST!!!!!!I didn't do a ton of research. I grew up with a JW kid that lived on my street, and he said he didn't do pledge of allegiance or stand for the anthem because it was considered worshipping a false idol. It appears that isn't a strict rule according to someone here that knows.
