Wake Forest baseball coach Tom Walter publicly apologized for an anti-gay slur he made during an NCAA regional game against Tennessee. In his statement, he expressed regret for his words, acknowledging the hurt caused and emphasizing that such language is not reflective of his values. Athletic director John Currie also expressed disappointment, stating that the incident is contrary to the standards of the university and its athletic programs. The incident coincided with Wake Forest's loss to Tennessee in the regional game, which raised further visibility to the situation.
I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused.
This incident ... is completely out of character for him and does not meet the standards of Wake Forest Athletics, Wake Forest University or the Atlantic Coast Conference.
