<h3>Fox Sports fires sportscaster for his Christian faith</h3>
<h4>Send an email to Fox Sports, urging them to put aside their
anti-Christian intolerance and reinstate Craig James.</h4>
September 26, 2013<br><br>Dear Dianne,
<div>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!<img border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5" align="right" src="http://action.afa.net/uploadedImages/Activism/AFA_Action_Alerts/Action_Alert_Related_Items/craig_james2.jpg"></div>
<div><b>Craig James was fired as a Fox Sports sportscaster as a result of
sharing his religious beliefs publicly.</b> 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."</div>
<div>What did James say that was so egregious that he deserved to be
fired?</div>
<div>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." <i><a href="http://outbound3.afa.net/link.php?M=1391074&N=1795&L=3308&F=H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Read
an expanded story of his firing here</a>.</i></div>
<div><b>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. <a href="http://outbound3.afa.net/link.php?M=1391074&N=1795&L=3310&F=H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sports
Illustrated</a> isn't buying it, <a href="http://outbound3.afa.net/link.php?M=1391074&N=1795&L=3311&F=H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dallas
News</a> isn't buying it and neither are we!</b></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><b>TAKE ACTION</b></div>
<div><b><a href="http://outbound3.afa.net/link.php?M=1391074&N=1795&L=3309&F=H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Send
an email to Fox Sports</a></b>, urging them to put aside their
