A Fox pundit has claimed that an NFL player who made a homophobic remark about Michael Sam was sent to a "re-indoctrination camp".
Miami Dolphins player Don Jones was suspended in May after he tweeted that Michael Sam's on-air kiss with his boyfriend was "horrible".
He voluntarily underwent standard sensitivity training , and was fined an undisclosed amount following the incident.
However, Fox host Bernie McGuirk has claimed that the player was actually sent to a brainwashing camp.
He said: "The Dolphins guy was suspended for expressing his opinion on the [Michael Sam] gay kiss. He was sent to re-indoctrination camp."
McGuirk added that Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice - who was dropped by the team and indefinitely suspended following a domestic abuse charge - would be facing tougher punishments if he had hit a gay man instead of his fiancée.
He said: "If he had punched a gay guy in an elevator, this Ray Rice, he probably would have been charged with a hate crime. He wouldn't have been in the NFL anymore."
Fox News host Shepard Smith - who has denied rumours about his sexuality - attracted criticism last month after he branded actor Robin Williams "a coward" just hours after he was found dead in an apparent suicide.
In July, a Fox News 'psychiatrist' claimed that people will soon be able to enter into special marriages for three people and a dog.
