Red Sox Pitcher's Past Homophobic Comments Under Scrutiny as Club Promotes Him to Majors

Pitcher Matt Dermody posted a tweet in 2021 saying homosexuals "will go to hell" which he later deleted.
The Red Sox promoted Dermody to the majors though they were unaware of the tweet when they first signed him.
Once learning of the tweets, the Red Sox met with Dermody, who underwent mandatory training, and believe they properly addressed the situation.
The Red Sox aim to create an inclusive environment and educate players on acceptance though some feel more should be done in response to Dermody's past comments.
The team's decision to start Dermody in Thursday's game despite the recent revelation of his tweet has been called a "major public relations mess."
