Red Sox Pitcher Cut Loose After Offending the Thought Police

New in PJ Media:

Many people are warning these days that the jaw-droppingly corrupt weapon of partisan vengeance known as the “Justice” Department, with its indictment of Donald Trump after steadfastly ignoring the crimes of Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden, is taking the nation down the road to dictatorship. And while that is a very real concern, some of the hysteria is overblown, not because the Biden regime actually respects loyal opposition and free discourse, but because the freedom of speech is already so severely eroded. The Boston Red Sox just showed that anew in their treatment of a pitcher who dared to utter unapproved ideas.

Yeah, in America we have the First Amendment that supposedly protects the freedom of speech, but just try saying something publicly that goes against what the Leftist elites want you to believe. The New York Post reported Friday that the Red Sox “are doing damage control in the wake of past homophobic tweets from pitcher Matt Dermody, who started Boston’s game Thursday against the Guardians.” Oh, horror of horrors.

Now, I’m certainly old-fashioned. I was under the impression that the Boston Red Sox were a baseball team, not an LGBTQWTF organization or a Leftist advocacy group. If the Post had told me that the Red Sox were doing damage control in the wake of bringing a 32-year-old pitcher who had won a grand total of two games in the major leagues to start a game and that said pitcher had given up three runs in four innings and lost the game, I wouldn’t have batted an eye. But no, the Red Sox had to do damage control not because Dermody was an old (for baseball) retread who got hit hard, but because he has dared to depart from our insane society’s wholehearted worship of sexual deviance.

Dermody didn’t even enunciate his heresy as a member of the Red Sox. The Post tells us that he “posted a tweet in June 2021 — when he was a member of the Saitama Seibu Lions in Japan — denouncing homosexuality as a sin in the name of his Christian faith.” But in our enlightened, post-Christian age, a man’s sins follow him around. Dermody, you see, never should have gotten another shot (he appeared in 30 games for the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago Cubs from 2016 through 2022, before his Red Sox game) at the major leagues at all. Apparently, to be an effective pitcher in today’s major leagues, you have to love the entire Pride extravaganza that is forced upon us everywhere during the month of June (and all other months as well).

There is more. Read the rest here.
