Wake Forest baseball coach apologizes for homophobic slur caught on camera during NCAA Tournament game

Wake Forest head baseball coach Tom Walter apologized after TV cameras caught him appearing to use a homophobic slur during his Demon Deacons’ NCAA tournament game against Tennessee. 

Walter said he didn’t see the video that went viral on social media and said he doesn’t remember the moment during the game. 

But he did acknowledge that his "language doesn’t reflect my values or the standards of this program."

"I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night, and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused," Walter’s statement issued by Wake Forest said. "I own the consequences and I apologize to the University of Tennessee, to Wake Forest University, and the SEC & ACC."
