A high school baseball player in upstate New York who came out publicly as bisexual a year ago has condemned one or two players on an opposing team who called him a “faggot” during a game earlier this month.

Sam Culwell, 17, a pitcher and third baseman at Rondout Valley High School in Kenhonkson, New York, detailed the April 10 incident against Marlboro in a Facebook post: My name is Sam Culwell. I’m a straight A student, I play baseball for Rondout Valley’s varsity team, and as a matter of fact I’m the captain. I’ve played baseball since I was 4, and I’ve loved it ever since. Training year round is fun to me, and there’s nothing like going up to the field with my teammates after school for a game or practice. 13 years of playing baseball and I was fortunate enough to find a great college program that I feel comfortable playing at.....After Culwell escaped the sixth inning, he stormed to the dugout in anger, sat on the bench and wept.

This big strapping young man who is at the height of his ability sat in the dugout and wept when someone called him a name....... Give me a break! He wants sympathy or hate is the reason he doesn't get it. Hate, hate, hate, anyone who disagrees with his choices is full of hate. The left code word for disagreement with anything they love. Message to the young ladies of that area, be very careful being with a young man who lays with other men. Problems are almost certain to follow.

Is he a pitcher or a catcher?

No crying in baseball.

Sorry dude, but if you suck ***, you are a faggot.

[VietVet876]

He’s just another faggot.

That you, Dice?

[mindburglar]

Correct.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Is he a pitcher or a catcher?

"Sam Culwell, 17, a pitcher and third baseman..."

So...I guess he's a third baseman...who platoons as a pitcher for the 'other' team.

Why does some highschooler think it necessary to “publicly announce” their sexuality.

How about drinking a nice cup of STFU?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I’m a straight A student ....

Obviously not.

If you say anything to this little snowflake twirp it will be a slur. Say nothing it’ll be insulted. There will be no winning with it.

He was man enough to come out as bisexual - which makes him a true switch-hitter I guess - but he gets unnerved when a high schooler calls him a fag. This bisexual is a p*ssy.

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today

More like a switch hitter.

Calling he/she/it a “faggot” was improper.

Calling he/she/it someone with a very large mental problem would be very very proper.

So, to this “basketball player”: loose your coach. Get some help with your real problem.

How about we compromise and call him a faggot with a very large mental problem?

(and, by the way, it’s baseball, not basketball)

Well,fags will do that...weep like little 6 year olds. Buttplug knows the scene...he's been there and done that.

[ronniesgal]

here’s a thought. Shut up about your sexuality and live your life. If nobody knows, no one will be rude.
