A baseball player made his debut for the Boston Red Sox - two years after posting a homophobic tweet.
Matt Dermody, who was brought up to the big leagues from Triple-A Worcester, made his first MLB start against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on Thursday night. But while playing in Japan two years ago, he posted a discriminatory message on social media, which has since been deleted, prompting the Red Sox to address the situation before his first start.
"#PrideMonth. Homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. They will go to hell. That is not my opinion, but the #Truth. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9,” the tweet read. “May we all examine our hearts, ask Jesus to forgive us, and repent for our sins. I love you all in Christ Jesus!"
