Lebron James called Donald Trump’s crude remarks about women “trash talk” and refused to even mention the Republican nominee’s name. Meanwhile, Tom Brady walked out from a new conference when questioned about the candidate he has earlier supported.
Wednesday’s reactions from two of the biggest superstars in sports indicated how much the 2005 video Trump has set aside as “locker room talk” resonated through the sports domain. The two sportspersons add to a growing list of present and former professional athletes weighing in Trump’s offensive remarks. These obscene comments mention grasping women’s genitals and trying to sleep with married women besides his own wife.
James said the discussions he usually hears in the dug-out relate more with family, game strategy and other sports-related banter.
“What that guy was saying, I don’t know what that is. That’s trash talk,” he said.
In Massachusetts, Brady had no plans in jumping into the issue when asked towards the end of his weekly news conference about how he would react if his kids heard Trump’s kind of “locker room talk.”
The Patriots quarterback just smiled, then said, “Thank you guys, have a good day,” and left the room.
Last year, people saw Brady with one of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats in his locker. Brady and Trump have also played golf together and Trump has talked about the quarterback’s support on the campaign trail.
Meanwhile, in Houston, Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney said his teammates don’t talk as Trump depicted.
He said that he didn’t know where Trump got that. He added that he and his teammates keep it clean.
In a debate this week, Trump tried to downplay the comments as words only and apologized for his remarks in the video.
