Presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to make enemies throughout the country. It is about a month until the election and he’s not making himself a great option to be the next president of the United States. Tapes from 2005 surfaced of Trump talking to Billy Bush and he said less than favorable things about actions he would take against women, including saying he would sexually assault them. Trump’s defense is a simple one in his eyes. It’s just ‘locker room talk‘.
Unfortunately for Trump, not every athlete agrees with his claims of locker room talk. It’s not the first time Trump has done something stupid against athletes. LeBron James headlined a list of some athletes denouncing Trump’s claims completely. Yes, LeBron James does support Hillary Clinton and yes, he still continues to not address Donald Trump by name.

Locker room?

All this heavy breathing seems more locker room-esque than anything #debate

Claiming Trump's comments are "locker room banter" is to suggest they are somehow acceptable. They aren't.

PSA: sexual advances without consent is NOT locker room talk.

As an athlete, I've been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that's not locker room talk.

Have I been in every locker room? No. But the guys I know and respect don't talk like that. They talk about girls but not like that. Period.

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and UFC fighter C.M. Punk also refutes the claims
"Grab them by the pussy" isn't talk from any locker room I've ever been in. It's a Ted Bundy quote. #debate2016

Robbie Rogers of the L.A. Galaxy also didn’t agree with the ‘locker room talk’ defense
I'm offended as an athlete that @realDonaldTrump keeps using this "locker room talk" as an excuse.

The one athlete that probably received the most attention on this Donald Trump topic, outside of Lebron James, might have been New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. A noted Trump friend. When asked about Trump’s comments, Brady abruptly walked away and ended his press conferece.
