University of Texas Revokes Scholarships of 5 Anthem Kneelers…Full Details Below ⬇️👇

The claim that the University of Texas revoked scholarships from five students for kneeling during the national anthem is false and has been debunked by multiple credible sources.

The rumor originated from a satirical article published by SpaceXMania.com, a website known for producing fictional news content.

The article was shared on social media without the satirical disclaimer, leading many to believe it was factual.

The accompanying photo, which purportedly showed University of Texas students kneeling, actually depicted players from the University of Tennessee’s Lady Vols basketball team kneeling during a January 2021 game.

John Bianco, Associate Athletics Director of Communications at the University of Texas, confirmed via email that the rumor was unfounded, stating, “There’s no truth to this rumor.”

Additionally, fact-checking organizations such as Snopes, PolitiFact, and Reuters have all investigated and debunked the claim, confirming that no scholarships were revoked for such reasons.

This misinformation highlights the importance of verifying information before sharing it, especially on social media platforms. The University of Texas has not taken any action against students for kneeling during the national anthem.
