DALLAS (AP) — Former television college football analyst Craig James is complaining to the state that his firing by Fox Sports Southwest was an act of religious discrimination.

In a statement issued Tuesday by the Plano, Texas-based Liberty Institute, James alleges a national Fox Sports spokesman told The Dallas Morning News that James was terminated from Fox Sports Southwest for religious beliefs against same-sex marriage.

Liberty Institute is a nonprofit legal group that promotes religious rights.

Wikipedia on the Liberty Institute:

The Liberty Institute is a conservative Christian advocacy and legal defense organization founded in 1972 under the name Free Market Foundation.[1][2][3] Liberty Institute is headed by Kelly Shackelford, one of the top-25 Texas attorneys in the past 25 years.[4] Liberty Institute has since shifted focus to providing pro bono legal assistance to Christian people and organizations that they believe are suffering religious persecution in the United States, such as students, veterans, and pastors whose religious free exercise rights they believe are being violated.[5][6][7][8][9]

And Craig James is scum beyond just being a homophobic bigot. The book The System: The Glory and Scandal of Big-Time College Football by Jeff Benedict & Armen Keteyian explains how James got Mike Leach fired from Texas Tech over his son Adam James not getting enough playing time at wide receiver.

1. He's done

we will not have to ever see him again on TV. This is a suit that will end his career. He should have never given up the ESPN job. dumbass thought he could be a senator.

2. Wow, Craig James is so destitute that he needs pro bono legal representation?

I bet that he is a major proponent for tort reform also.

3. Welfare, frivolous lawsuits? IOKIYAR.

(Yes Craig James is Republican; he has run for Congress in Texas.)

on the other hand i'm not sure if Craig James is needing pro bono representation as much as wanting a "persecuted Christian" lawsuit.

4. Liberty Institute seems to have a high success rate, at least to a settlement.

IMO they seem to take cases where the religious RW will benefit in someway. Or help support the RW vs RW internal wars, like fox vs Craig James.

Kind of interesting to me, the "Bellaire, Texas" issue about 'church services' in the home, Liberty vs Bellaire, Texas.

Bellaire, Tx is right up the street from me.Another small texas 'neighborhood' with very, very, strict home owners association and their own personal 'police department'.

Personally, I'm against all HOA of any type. I think they were started at the time of segregation and still micromanage Local Gov. to the point people do not have personal freedom in their own homes.

But even if Liberty 'wins' there will just be some money settlement. The case will never go to the point where Liberty lawyers get the SC to declare Home Owners Associations across America as unconstitutional.

It's a shame there are no pro-bono Orgs that really work towards, life, Liberty and freedom for all.

5. James at Southern Methodist University

He was one of the recruits and played at SMU during the huge scandal resulting in the SMU getting the NCAA "Death Penalty" for cheating. His treatment of ex-coach Leach at Texas Tech is a continuation of bad behavior.
