So, the Patriots signed on to a brief in support of marriage equality before the Supreme Court. Several other teams did as well, and given the Kraft family's liberal politics, it isn't that surprising. Former Patriots running back turned NFL analyst turned failed US Senate candidate Craig James wasn't so wild about the idea.
 
Craig James is probably best known for inspiring the internet meme/Google bomb, “Craig James killed five hookers.” After James launched his Senate bid, the meme was revitalized. Now, however, he may become better known for believing his former team is a tool of Satan:
 
James: A locker room is a cohesive deal. A locker room is a place where everybody has different belief systems but you just get along. In my opinion, I look forward to seeing now, if management tells you and the coaching staff tells you that you better not say anything about the other side, you talk about implosion in the locker room. I know the believers I was with, my teammates -- and there were a lot of believers in that locker room -- we wouldn't have been quiet for a moment, we would have spoken up.

Perkins: Do you think there are going to be more players that say, "Hey wait a minute, that's fine if they want to do that and live that lifestyle, but for me, as a follower of Jesus Christ, I have an obligation to speak out, in a loving way, but to speak the truth nonetheless?"

James: I have to say that ... the thought of me filing something in the Supreme Court on behalf of players, I had pause. I'll run through a wall with you guys [but] ...  if I were a current player in that locker room and my livelihood depended on me being quiet or losing it because of my belief system, I worry, I wonder. So, that’s Satan working on us.

James' homophobia cost him his jobs at ESPN and Fox Sports. At least his current employer, the Family Research Council, probably endorses his POV here, so he should keep his job if nothing else.

The only thing worse than a homophobe is a person who's a bad person far beyond their homophobia but still thinks they're saintly just because they're attracted to the opposite gender.  Craig James is an objectively shitty person, and there are about twenty other things you could've added to that post.  I hope an actual mustang kicks him in the mouth and then Mike Leach does the same.

Craig James is irrelevant and not a mouthpiece for Christianity. This won't cause any locker room issues.
 
Non-story.
