Two-time NCAA Champion\u00a0Abrahm DeVine\u00a0<\/strong>publicly called out the Stanford swimming and diving team in an Instagram post for treating him unfairly as a gay man. DeVine publicly came out as gay<\/a> in 2018 during his senior year at Stanford.<\/p>\n

Now, he is saying he was treated poorly over the last four years by the Stanford swimming and diving team for being gay.<\/p>\n

“Everyone says they support me, and yet, for the millionth time, I am the only one speaking up. To my coaches who sport the pride flag on their desk, to the athletes who liked my pride photo on Instagram, I need you to wake up to what\u2019s happening around you. How can you say you support me and my equality? How can you not see how Stanford Swim has treated me and used me over the last 4 years? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Am I invisible? Plain and simple: there are surface level reasons I was kicked off the Stanford swim team, but I can tell you with certainty it comes down to the fact that I\u2019m gay. This is a pattern. Homophobia is systematic: intelligently and masterfully designed to keep me silent and to push me out.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

DeVine graduated in May and finished out his senior year as an NCAA champion, so it is unclear what he meant by saying he was “kicked off the Stanford swim team.” He is now training in San Diego with Team Elite and David Marsh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Stanford swimming and diving has since issued a statement<\/a> on DeVine’s post.<\/p>\n

DeVine won two NCAA titles in the 400 IM in 2018<\/a> and 2019<\/a> and also represented the United States at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships, as well as the 2018 Pan Pacs. He was tenth in the 200 IM at the 2017 Worlds and was eighth this past summer in 2019 in the same event.<\/p>\n

He wrote a lengthy Instagram post which can be read in full below:<\/p>\n
