Joe Lockhart, the NFLs executive vice president of communications, wasnt messing around Monday.
A former White House press secretary under President Clinton, Lockhart used surgical precision in leveling a shot at President Trump, tying Sundays nationwide protests by players, owners and coaches to Trumps infamous Access Hollywood recording from his days as a TV star in 2005.
Everyone should know, including the president, this is what real locker room talk is, Lockhart said in a conference call with reporters.
Lockharts comment shows that sports and politics in the Trump era arent going to be untangled anytime soon and, frankly, thats probably partly why he was hired.
Lockhart, a former TV producer and the son of journalists, joined the NFL in the winter of 2016, replacing Paul Hicks as the leagues vice president of communications. (Hicks is the father of Hope Hicks, Trumps communications director.) Clearly, he knows just what message he wants to send.

No wonder Trump has declared war on the NFL
Ok twit - it’s “real” locker room talk. It’s actually “bar” talk and you’re getting your ass kicked on it.
I’m surprised that this story has not been pulled from their website.
This is what real locker room talk is: “Death to America”
The NFL is in the middle of a hurricane
Its too late to prepare now.
Yes - continue to have smarmy insiders and Clinton bootlickers speak on behalf of your league. NOT going to help you, NFL
Here is why Glamour Magazine is so hard on the Trumps and so pro Mooselle Obama.
“In January, Lockhart was named as the NFLs new executive vice president of communications. Then, it was recently reported that he and his wife, Giovanna, who is the D.C. editor of Glamour, are also going to be the Obama familys future landlordsquite the unique title.”
Is that his best shot?
This isn’t even a fight.
Well, it’s the Flag. The communications director for the National Football League has no understanding of what the Flag represents.
He should have been communicating with the also half educated owners.
He should have been doing the most cursory look at Kaepernick’s motivation- his girlfriend and her influence. Got that from Savage
Sounds like Lockhart is still working for Clinton. His spiel might work if you only need 43% to 49% support, but the NFL had been well north of that. Further, the NFL fan base supporters don’t buy into his attitude. Goodell may have never been formally on the Dem payroll, but his whole tour as NFL chief declares him to be at least a fellow traveler.
They are in a hole, and they are digging.
Maybe they should call FEMA
Note to the NFL: Fans remember Lockhart. Smooth moove, you dumba$$es.
No wonder the NFL is being destroyed. It’s run by Hilary strategists.
The whole approach is exactly from the Clinton Playbook. Somehow everyone else is doing something wrong, but disrespecting the flag and national anthem is denied even while we see it with our own eyes.
Moove. Move. Mooooove. That’s bettah!
Everyone should know, including the president, this is what real locker room talk is,
Likewise, the current occupant of our White House is what it looks like with a real leader in it.
lockhart and the nfl screwed the pooch...BIGLY. LOL.
I always wonder where is the wife on this, advising him one way or the other, when a guy makes a bone-headed move.
It’s part of the picture
“Joe Lockhart, the NFLs executive vice president of communications, and former White House press secretary under President Clinton”
Ah, another piece of the puzzle falls into place.
Yeah now I realize who this bum is. The NFL has got to be kidding us they are hiring Clinton operatives in high positions just like the news networks did? When people realize this the NFL is absolutely finished.
Reaffirms my personal opinion that this is all really just a personal vendetta against Trump.
Every NFL fan should be demanding that this filthy leftist slob be fired immediately. Now we see that the disrespect of our flag is being orchestrated straight from Obama Clinton headquarters.
