Athletes Respond To Donald Trump's Claim Of "Locker-Room Banter"

Numerous sports figures are sounding off this week on Donald Trump referring to a lewd recorded conversation from '05 as "locker-room banter." Heat F Udonis Haslem said, "I don't know Trump very well at all. But I don't know who he's played for in the last couple of years, to even say he's been in anybody's locker room to have those kinds of conversations. Has he played?" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 10/11). Hornets F Marvin Williams: "I don't know what locker rooms he hangs out in or what they talk about, but I have never heard that in any locker room and I hope I never do" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 10/11). Lions WR Golden Tate: "Locker-room talk can be a wide range of things" (MLIVE.com, 10/10). The N.Y. TIMES goes with the header, "What Exactly Is ‘Locker-Room Talk’? Let an Expert Explain."

Clippers coach Doc Rivers also had some brief comments on Trump's claim: "That's a new locker room for me" (TMZ.com, 10/10).
