Former Stanford swimmer\u00a0Abrahm<\/strong> DeVine <\/strong>insists homophobia was the reason why Stanford didn’t invite him back to train this fall as a postgrad, but has since admitted to breaking a USA Swimming rule where he went out drinking at a Team USA swim meet instead of showing up to support the team.<\/p>\n

DeVine stands by his comments made last week where he said there was a homophobic culture at Stanford.<\/p>\n

An excerpt from his post:<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone 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

\u201cAm 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Abrahm DeVine admitted to a local Stanford paper that his expulsion from the program “came after he drank at a Team USA swim meet instead of showing up to support his teammates who were competing, a violation of the National Team\u2019s Honor Code.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that I wrote this entire Instagram post where every sentence is very important, but the only one that people are really focusing on is me calling out Stanford, and that makes my message sound very aggressive and that I\u2019m out for blood, when in reality that is not what I wanted at all,\u201d DeVine told the paper. \u201cI\u2019m here to just say this is a systemic issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeVine said he wanted to bring to light how a homophobic culture within Stanford’s team was already alienating him from the swimming community. He also said an important reason why he did not support Team USA at the meet was “because he felt that neither coaches nor athletes on the team respected him and his experiences as a gay swimmer.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween coaches and other athletes, I feel there is so much ignorance to what it means to be gay in a sports world that my character is not recognized,\u201d he wrote in a statement to the Stanford Daily<\/em>. \u201cAlthough I feel I can participate by being silent and non-disruptive, I feel that my identity as a gay man is incompatible with the swimming world.”<\/p>\n

Abrahm DeVine also said that homophobic slurs were commonplace on the Stanford team before he came out while he was in school<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I really wanted was some thought and reflection on where [the homophobia] was coming from, on why you think gay equals bad. And I think what actually happened was like, \u2018Oh shoot. We can\u2019t really say these [slurs] anymore. We might still think it\u2019s kind of funny, but we\u2019re going to censor ourselves.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

DeVine recalled the Stanford coaching staff “appealing to masculine stereotypes to motivate swimmers on the team” and being “unwilling to listen to him when he sought to explain why he felt excluded from the team as a gay man.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ask any of these coaches, \u2018What do you think about gay swimmers?\u2019 they would say, \u2018That\u2019s great. I support equality, I support gay swimmers, sexuality doesn\u2019t matter to me at all,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then you can ask, well, \u2018Why have you never coached a successful gay athlete and what do you think are the obstacles facing them?\u2019 They will have no response.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>reached out to the Stanford coaches for comment on the situation last week which reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is truly unfortunate Abe feels this way. That said, Abe wasn\u2019t invited back to train with us this fall, as a postgraduate, for reasons entirely unrelated to his sexuality. We take pride in the inclusivity and supportiveness that exists on both our men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams, but we will continue to strive, as always, to improve those aspects of our culture.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Abrahm DeVine is currently training with Team Elite in San Diego.<\/p>\n

DeVine won two NCAA titles in the 400 IM in\u00a02018<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a02019<\/a>\u00a0and 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
