Giants Linebacker Invites Trump to Locker Room

New York Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich invited President Donald Trump Tuesday to come and “hang out in our locker room” to discuss the national anthem protests.

“I think the best way to handle remarks like that is it’s not necessarily a push back against his [Trump’s] remarks. It’s to maintain the focus on the real issue,” the 30-year-old veteran player said after practice Tuesday, according to New York Daily News.

“The real issue isn’t players being against a president or against a country,” he added. “It’s about players being for unity, and they want to create an atmosphere with law enforcement, with others in their community that we share in the locker room.”

“You go in the locker room and guys from every single race, every single demographic, every single religious background, and we all are just a team,” he continued. “And so I think we see that, what’s possible. And I would love Trump to come down here and hang out in our locker room and see what locker room talk’s really about, and talking about our night nurses and our babies– this is what we talk about, it’s a family.”
