Fox Sports fires sportscaster for his Christian faith
Send an email to Fox Sports, urging them to put aside their anti-Christian intolerance and reinstate Craig James.
September 26, 2013Dear Conservatives,
Although initially heralded as a great addition to the Fox Sports
Southwest sportscast team, the Fox Sports network decided to fire Craig
James after learning of his Christian faith...after only one day on the
job!
Craig James was fired as a Fox Sports sportscaster as a result of
sharing his religious beliefs publicly. A Fox spokesperson said, "We
just asked ourselves how Craig's statements would play in our human
resources department. He couldn't say those things here."
What did James say that was so egregious that he deserved to be
fired?
As a candidate during a Texas U.S. Senate campaign in 2010, Craig James
said his Christian faith clearly outlined his position on gay marriage and
pledged he would not support same-sex unions. He also stated he was
"adamantly opposed to abortion." Read
an expanded story of his firing here.
Because of his personal faith (and for no other reason), Fox
Sports fired Mr. Craig James. Fox is now trying to spin this, saying he
wasn't fired for religious reasons. Sports
Illustrated isn't buying it, Dallas
News isn't buying it and neither are we!
This is clearly a case of religious discrimination by Fox Sports and an
attempt by the network to silence those who stand on God's word concerning
marriage and abortion.
