<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8052375, member: 19463&quot;]It was mentioned that pigs are &#039;detestable&#039; to the Jewish people.&nbsp; I had the idea that they were not allowed as dietary items but am unclear of their status otherwise.&nbsp; A question for our members aware of the rules:&nbsp; Are non food pig products outlawed as well?&nbsp; I doubt the 1st century people used footballs but a little research turned up that pig leather is very common today but most leather items are just marked &#039;leather&#039; without a species name.&nbsp; I did see one reference that a person must remove a pig garment before praying in the Muslim faith. This video will be repulsive to some (you are warned) but I recall, when a child, seeing some of the items shown.&nbsp; My father was fond of his alligator and seal shoes. I assume all footballs are synthetic now? </p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]-tJtZmJCWLw[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
