When Donald Trump tried to defend his lewd comments about women as “locker room talk,” athletes quickly spoke out to say that no, it wasn’t locker room talk at all.

Los Angeles Clippers coach and former NBA point guard Doc Rivers said that if his comments constituted locker room talk, then “that’s a new locker room for me.”

Other pro athletes and those who work in the sports industry also spoke out, with Sean Doolittle saying, “As an athlete, I’ve been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that’s not locker room talk.”

“Just for reference. I work in a locker room (every day)… that is not locker room talk. Just so you know…” said Chris Conley.

“PSA: sexual advances without consent is NOT locker room talk,” said Kendall Marshall.

4. Politics isn’t sport.
The White House isn’t a locker room.
Respecting women (et al.) seems a desperately low bar to fail in 2016.
