MIAMI --?Udonis Haslem was leading some banter with Heat?teammates after practice Monday, the jokes and laughter helping everyone wind down after practice.Thats how he defines locker room talk.Donald Trumps characterization of his caught-on-tape crude and predatory comments about women as locker room talk has raised the ire of plenty of athletes, the overwhelming majority saying that what goes on even in private doesnt match up to what the Republican presidential nominee said on the now-infamous leaked tape.I dont know what locker room hes been in, Haslem said. No, I didnt appreciate it, to be completely honest. Thats not our locker room talk. I dont know Trump very well at all, but I dont know who hes played for the last couple years to even say hes been in anybodys locker room and had those kind of conversations.On the tape, recorded in 2005, Trump bragged about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women other than his wife. When youre a star, they let you do it, he bragged. You can do anything.Athletes fired back en masse at Trump to send the message that they dont talk like he does.?Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brett Anderson,?Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley,?Los Angeles Clippers guard Jamal Crawford,?and retired NFL players Donte Stallworth and Chris Kluwe were among the first to speak out, and many have since followed.It didnt sound like any talk in any locker room that Ive ever been in, so maybe it was just a phrase, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins said. But it was wrong.Saying such talk is never heard, however, might be a stretch. Some described hearing crude, profane or degrading comments routinely.Most definitely, said?Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker, when asked whether he has heard off-color chatter. Yeah, I have.Ron Darling, the former major league pitcher who is now a television analyst, said such language isnt hard to find -- and its found in the locker room, the boardroom and country clubs.The hard part, for Darling, was trying to avoid it -- which he said he would do by walking away.Every repugnant thing that you can think of has probably been said in a clubhouse at some point, Darling said at Fenway Park on Monday night before the?Cleveland Indians-Boston Red Sox?playoff game.The thing about it is that its the lowest common denominator thing. So its the person with the foulest and worst mind and mouth is the person that becomes the loudmouth in the clubhouse, he said.A lot of times, clubhouses get associated with that person. Its a shame. Its why I chose personally -- if my mom heard me say things like that, she would beat the s--- out of me.But the majority of athletes and coaches who have spoken out since the tape was published by The Washington Post and NBC News on Friday insist that what typically goes on stops well short of the level that Trump went to in his descriptions of grabbing women on that tape.Clippers coach Doc Rivers said such talk is not typical of any locker room he has been a part of.Theyre bad comments. Theyre demeaning to women, Rivers said. You know, I think when people throw out that word, locker room talk, theres nobody talking like that in the locker room. Is there swearing in the locker room? Yeah. Every other word. But theres nobody demeaning -- theres players in our locker room with sisters, wives and daughters. Theres not that type of talk in anyones locker room.Said Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze: Were working hard on our young men understanding that women are priceless and should be treated as such.Former NBA player Shane Battier said the locker room issue shouldnt be limited to the conversations athletes have among themselves.Be it right or misguided, the locker room -- in however you define it -- is probably one of the last places where most people feel safe expressing themselves without the fear of judgment or backlash, Battier said.To even suggest that locker rooms are barren of such talk and innuendo would be futile.The handling of sexual assault cases at the college level has been under fire for some time.?Baylor?fired football coach Art Briles after an investigation showed the program mishandled and covered up allegations.?Tennessee?struck a $2.48 million settlement after a lawsuit alleged the Volunteers didnt properly address some sexual assault claims involving athletes. Earlier this year,?Florida State?agreed to pay $950,000 to a woman who said she was raped by former Seminoles star?Jameis Winston.And three years ago, the?Miami Dolphins?season unraveled amid claims of players bullying their own teammates in the locker room.If that is the actual talk thats happening in locker rooms, its time to look at the leaders and examine their culture as to why those conversations happen, Miami womens basketball coach Katie Meier said.At the WNBA Finals, Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said the mere notion of locker room talk further shows that women arent treated equally.He was trying to say, Its what men do. And that to me is the inherent problem, Reeve said. It is what men do. Lets not have all these men stand up and say, Well, we dont do that! ... Donald Trumps candidacy has shined the light on so many problems that exist that I always talk about. He is the epitome of all these things. Hes not alone. It is behavior thats been accepted for years.Dolphins linebacker?Jelani Jenkins?said the culture within locker rooms has changed for the better in recent years -- and it might be because there has been more of a crackdown when issues arise.For sure, Jenkins said. People have gotten in trouble for certain things, like bullying, homophobia, different things like that that are very sensitive subjects. So guys are really careful what they say.Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate said there are no excuses for what Trump said.Theres no excuse to talk that way about women, to women, to other people, Tate said.He also disagreed with Trumps characterization of locker room talk.Ive heard some things over the years. Ive heard some distasteful things over the years, but Ive also heard some incredible things and some incredible outputs on life and character and religion and faith, he said. I think locker room talk can be a wide range of things. I think people just kind of jump to the negative. I think if you sit down with everyone in this locker room and kind of pick their brain on something they have some knowledge on, they can give you some very, very good perspective. So locker room talk can be a wide range of things.ESPNs Michael Rothstein and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Custom Mariners T-shirts . JOHNS, N.

Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. Nate Myles says he will never take his Queensland selection for granted again after injury threatened to cut short his State of Origin career.Myles, 31, is a confirmed starter for Wednesdays Origin III in Sydney after returning from a troublesome knee complaint.The veteran prop breathed a sigh of relief after being cleared of the injury that had sparked fears for his Origin future.Myles said he would cherish each remaining Queensland camp after making a rookie error following game one.I did something really silly after game one, I left my suit on the bus for game two, Myles said.I dare say that is an omen not to do that again.Myles hopes to make up for lost time after enduring game two on the couch at home.It was the longest I have ever spent watching a football game (on TV), Myles said.I was a rollercoaster. I wasnt much fun.I was all over the shop.It was a bit of an eye opener, too.IIt had been so natural just coming into camp - it taught me you have to cherish every game.ddddddddddddMyles moves to game No.31 for Queensland since his 2006 debut, trailing only Petero Civoniceva as the most capped forward in Origin history.It has been enough to warrant Civoniceva comparisons from Queensland coach Kevin Walters.It is phenomenal, Myles said of the comparison.I am comforted by that but it also makes me want to come out and do better.Front row partner Matt Scott said Myles was showing no sign of slowing down as Queensland looked to seal a fifth series whitewash.Thats 30 games now. What hes done for the team you cant really describe so its great to have him back in the mix, he said.Hes a big part of this side and hes still got a lot to offer. ' ' '
