After footage surfaced of Donald Trump bragging about alleged sexual assault and claiming to "grab women by the pussies," the Republican presidential hopeful disregarded criticism by explaining that his foul words were simply "locker room talk."
\u201cI\u2019m not proud of my locker room talk. But this world has serious problems. We need serious leaders. #debate #BigLeagueTruth\u201d— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump) 1476061983
Now, real athletes and coaches, who have actually spent time in locker rooms, are expressing just how horrible the things Trump has said would sound in a real locker room.
\u201cAs an athlete, I've been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that's not locker room talk.\u201d— Sean Doolittle (@Sean Doolittle) 1476071161
\u201c4. Politics isn't sport.\nThe White House isn't a locker room.\nRespecting women (et al.) seems a desperately low bar to fail in 2016.\u201d— John Amaechi OBE (@John Amaechi OBE) 1476094693
\u201cWhat kind of fucked up locker rooms has Donald Trump been in...\u201d— Brett Anderson (@Brett Anderson) 1476062301
\u201cI was a 5 sport athlete in high school. \n5 years of college football.\n12 years in the NFL.\nGuys don't talk like that in locker rooms. #Trump\u201d— Sage Rosenfels (@Sage Rosenfels) 1475899033
\u201cI haven't heard that one in any locker rooms https://t.co/Ci8NXOgFcI\u201d— CJ McCollum (@CJ McCollum) 1476062938
\u201cIt's not normal. And even if it were normal, it's not right. https://t.co/RQUWJJBSTn\u201d— Jacob Tamme (@Jacob Tamme) 1476063058
