Chris Conley, Flagpole’s all-time favorite Bulldog, wants you to know that “grab them by the pussy” isn’t locker-room talk.
The former UGA receiver, who now plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, shot off a few tweets last night aimed at those who’ve been dismissing Donald Trump’s controversial comments about how he treats women he made on the “Access Hollywood” set in 2005.
Just for reference. I work in a locker room (every day)… that is not locker room talk. Just so you know…

Have I been in every locker room? No. But the guys I know and respect don’t talk like that. They talk about girls but not like that. Period.

Apart from this debate and apart from the election. I’m appalled how many of you are tweeting me that talking and acting that way is ok

I’m done. If that’s the talk you hear around you then be the place where change begins. Regardless of this election let’s be a better people

Conley is far from the only athlete to push back against the idea that jocks routinely talk like Trump.
