Wake Forest Coach Apologizes for Homophobic Slur
Wake Forest baseball coach Tom Walter publicly apologized after being caught on camera during Monday night's NCAA regional game appearing to use a homophobic slur, though he stated he did not recall the specific moment. Walter acknowledged the language did not reflect his values or those of the program, and apologized to the University of Tennessee, Wake Forest University, and both the SEC and ACC. Wake Forest athletic director John Currie expressed disappointment, calling the outburst out of character and below university standards. The university has not announced any disciplinary action against Walter. The incident occurred just before Tennessee's Andrew Fischer hit a two-run homer, contributing to Tennessee's 11-5 win and advancement to the super regional. The incident has sparked broader discussion about sportsmanship and coach conduct in collegiate athletics.
