‘This is what real locker room talk is’: The NFL’s Joe Lockhart levels a shot at Trump
Joe Lockhart, the NFL’s executive vice president of communications, wasn’t messing around Monday.
A former White House press secretary under President Clinton, Lockhart used surgical precision in leveling a shot at President Trump
Lockhart was a strategist in the Clinton White House during the Monica Lewinsky scandal
Lockhart’s comment shows that sports and politics in the Trump era aren’t going to be untangled anytime soon and, frankly, that’s 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 league’s vice president of communications. (Hicks is the father of Hope Hicks, Trump’s communications director.)
Clearly, he knows just what message he wants to send.
He also happens to have rented his home in Washington DC to a certain former president named Barack Obama.
