About

CJK5H is an abbreviation for the phrase “Craig James killed five hookers”, an unfounded statement associated with an online smear campaign targeting retired football player and commentator Craig James, in similar vein to the Glenn Beck rape and murder hoax in 2009. The campaign was reinvigorated after James announced he would be running for the United States Senate in December of 2011.

Origin

On July 19th, 2011, American college football coach Mike Leach's memoir book Swing Your Sword: Leading the Charge in Football and Life^[2] was released. In the book, Leach criticized the retired NFL player and sports commentator Craig James and his son Adam for being instrumental in Leach’s suspension from coaching the Texas Tech football team in December of 2009. The same day as the release of the book, the football news blog Every Day Should Be Saturday^[1] published a post titled “The Curious Index”, which included a screenshot of a defaced Wikipedia page claiming that Craig James “killed five hookers during his time at SMU.”
