NFL spokesman to Trump: 'This is what real locker room talk is'
President Trump continued his attack on the NFL Monday, producing more tweets chastising the league and its players for demonstrations during the national anthem Sunday.
And the NFL attacked right back, rebuking the president for his remarks and saying the league fully supported the dozens of players who knelt during the national anthem, including 18 players on the Patriots.
“I’d say looking at yesterday, everyone should know — including the president — that this is what real locker room talk is,” said Joe Lockhart, NFL executive vice president of communications.
The remark by Lockhart — a reference to Trump’s controversial comments about women that surfaced during last year’s campaign — underscored the building support among players and teams in the NFL and other sports Monday in opposition to the president’s statements about players who refuse to stand during the national anthem.
