After a question about Donald Trump, Tom Brady abruptly ended his weekly news conference Wednesday and avoided answering with his thoughts on Trump's "locker room talk" by walking out.
Last year, Brady described Trump as a "good friend" and said it was "remarkable" how the mogul's path has changed from business to television to politics.
Wednesday, the New England Patriots' star quarterback who recently returned from a four-game suspension over "Deflategate" didn't want to get into his thoughts on Trump's lewd comments that came to light last week.
According to The Washington Post, a reporter asked Brady: "How would you respond if your kids heard Donald Trump’s version of locker room talk?"
Brady's response was to end the session by saying, "Thank you, guys, and have a good day" before walking off the podium.
Brady was friends with Trump long before the presidential campaign began, but the quarterback has not officially endorsed his friend.
Trump's comments last week about grabbing and kissing women have been dismissed as "locker room talk" by his campaign, but many professional athletes have taken to social media to say that's not like any locker room they've ever been in.
"Just for reference. I work in a locker room (every day)... that is not locker room talk. Just so you know...," tweeted Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley.
Brady and the Patriots will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at 1 p.m.
