Boston Red Sox Pitcher Opens Up After Being Fired Over Tweet About ‘Hell’: ‘I Don’t Hate Anybody in This World’
Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Matt Dermody has opened up about his recent unexpected dismissal from the team, resulting from a resurfaced 2021 tweet about homosexuality. Dermody was called up from a Triple-A affiliate in June and pitched one game in the major leagues before his Tweet was uncovered and the cancel-culture harpies took over.
Appearing on Tomi Lahren’s podcast, Dermody, 33, retraced the steps that led to his abrupt exit from the Boston Red Sox over a tweet now expunged from his account, declared that “homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God” and “will go to hell,” referencing the biblical verse 1 Corinthians 6:9.
According to The Christian Post, Lahren suggested that Dermody fell victim to the ‘woke mob,’ who unearthed the tweet, leading to his contract termination after initial placement on waivers. Reflecting on a conversation with the Red Sox general manager during spring training, Dermody said:
“I don’t want anybody to go to hell…I saw the list of all the things… that lead people to Hell, and I was on that list,” He added, “That instilled the fear of the Lord in me. And so now, it’s not really about me anymore, but it’s about helping others and preaching the Gospel and the Good News of Jesus Christ, that He saves us from… the fires of Hell.”
Defending his tweet, Dermody insisted it was “far from homophobic” and affirmed, “I don’t hate anybody in this world.” He further revealed that his tweet was an aftermath of his recent conversion to Christianity: “The whole pandemic kind of shook my whole world up because … I lost my job in baseball, I … was kind of searching for the meaning of life after that,”
At the time, he had purchased a Bible to please his then-girlfriend, now his wife, which triggered a profound realization. He confessed, “I knew at that moment… if I died that night, I was not going to be in Heaven with God.”
Regarding the firing, Red Sox team president and CEO Sam Kennedy was firm in his decision to let Dermody go, sharing in a statement.
What Matt posted in 2021 was hurtful — and we addressed this with him when we learned about it after he joined the Red Sox in 2023. We cannot dictate the religious beliefs or political views of our players and employees, but we do require they treat people in our organization and ballpark with respect and professionalism.”
At the time Dermody offered a quasi-apology, saying: “I do regret the tweet in the sense that it came out hurtful and it hurt a lot of people,. That’s the last thing I want to do is hurt people. A lot of people think that I’m against a certain group of people or whatnot. But I’m for everybody making it to heaven.”

This finite life is an infinitely tiny blip compared to eternity. Logically then, the only possible way that scripture (or any scripture) could be hurtful would be if it were not true. That’s what it boils down to. If it is true, then it cannot possibly be hurtful or harmful.
Therefore to call scripture hurtful is to implicitly deny that it is true.
Yet the only one who was genuinely and demonstrably harmed was the Christian who was fired for believing and quoting scripture, along with his family who depends on him.
Whatever happened to religious discrimination?
