Athletes to Trump: That's not how our locker room talks

Athletes to Trump: That's not how our locker room talks

"I haven't heard that one in any locker rooms", he said.

At the same time, McGriff noted that Trump's comments have ironically provided a platform that "empowers women to stand up and speak out". They aren't sexual predators, rapists, or adulterers.

Trump apologized again for his remarks on Sunday during the town hall debate, but repeatedly downplayed the situation's severity after moderator Anderson Cooper suggested he bragged about sexually assaulting women. He stared at me even while George was giving his presentation ... "They aren't", National Basketball Association star Dahntay Jones added. "You can do anything". A group of us in an adrenalized atmosphere, with none of that dreaded "mixed company" around, can say things that we probably wouldn't say anywhere else, even things that aren't true and that we don't actually believe.

"As an athlete, I've been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that's not ", Major League Baseball pitcher Sean Doolittle .

"This was locker room talk". I have been a member of a fraternity. "But I don't buy it, and it's an unfair statement to say those kind of derogatory things against women that were said [by Trump] happen all the time". The term is still used today to show the ways in which society excuses and tolerates sexual violence, and Donald Trump citing "locker room banter" as the reason his words are acceptable demonstrates rape culture quite well.

Trump isn't the only one facing scrutiny for failing to acknowledge sexual assault.

Athletes to Trump: That's not how our locker room talks

"I know he apologized, and all you can do is apologize, but he could have said more", said Rosser, who has voted Republican her whole life but decided this weekend that she would support Trump's rival for president, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

As a man, Trump's statements embarrass me. Trump was also sued for sexual harassment in 1997 by Jill Harth, a woman who, along with her romantic partner, was pitching Trump to get involved in a pin-up competition in the early 1990s. He then continues on saying, "When you're a star, they let you do it".

On a bus headed to the set of the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" in 2005, Donald Trump was secretly recorded saying he was drawn like a magnet to lovely women. When it comes to women, some rich male celebrities appear to think they can get away with doing anything they want. But unlike Trump, we grew up.

In 1992, Trump publicly defended Mike Tyson against rape charges even after he had been convicted, claiming Tyson was "railroaded".

Trump said he "moved on her like bitch" and then made a crass remark about the woman's breast implants. I am a person who has great respect for people, for my family, for the people of this country. But her streak of never voting for a Clinton is set to end in November when she said she will cast her ballot for the Democratic candidate. Trump is not the typical guy. Such language - and the attitudes and behavior of men who feel a sense of entitlement to women's bodies - is at the center of hundreds of civil rights investigations by the Department of Justice into how colleges handle sexual assault cases.
