Companies can typically terminate employees for a range of reasons, but under the Texas Commission of Human Rights Act, it is illegal to discriminate against employees because of religion (among other characteristics such as sex, age and race).

Fox is totally Pro-Homo. FNC is particularly in tight with the homo mafia.

It won’t get far. Texas is a right-to-work state and employers have the right to terminate whomever they want. A sports announcer is a de facto ambassador for their network and the network has a valid business interest in displaying the public image they wish to project.

Don’t be fooled by this guy. He was fired because of his very public role in the dismissal of Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. James used his position as an ESPN analyst to wage a negative PR campaign against Leach for alleged mistreatment of his son, a backup TE for the Red Raiders. His career in sportscasting is over unless he wants to read updates for the local radio station in Dubuque. They might hire him but otherwise he’s done.

Companies can typically terminate employees for a range of reasons, but under the Texas Commission of Human Rights Act, it is illegal to discriminate against employees because of religion (among other characteristics such as sex, age and race). Texas is an at-will employment state so no, they don't have to have reason for terminating an employee. They just can't do it for refusing to perform an illegal act, for taking medical leave, or for taking a protected action against an employer.

Texas does not have employment laws protecting against discrimination based on sexual orientation, but James maintains he did not say “one thing” about his faith while working at Fox Sports. If he never once mentioned his faith then how can he claim he's being fired for his religious beliefs?
