Craig James is in the news again ... seems he's not happy that Fox Sports sent him packing a while back. He's trying to claim that his firing was a result of religious discrimination, after his vocal opposition to gay marriage in his failed 2012 Senate run in Texas. (James only had 3.6% of the vote, and was a very distant 4th in the Republican primary).

Fox is claiming James was hired by regional managers, and was not properly vetted. It seems in reality that Sports Illustrated called him out on his beliefs, and forced Fox to release him.

This thread isn't about gay marriage, but rather what an ongoing tool Craig James is and how Fox may have bungled the whole hiring/firing process. Let's keep the politics to the side here, folks, and adhere to the 11W commenting policy.

Finally, in related news, Craig James allegedly killed 5 hookers. Mike Leach seems to agree:

Mike Leach thinks so too ...
