Tom Brady isn't interested in answering any questions about Donald Trump.

The Patriots quarterback was asked at the end of his weekly news conference Wednesday about how he would respond if his kids heard Trump's version of "locker room talk."

Brady smiled and said only "thank you guys, have a good day" before walking away.

Trump made headlines recently after a 2005 video of him surfaced in which he is recorded making crude comments about women. He has since apologized for the comments, referring to it as "locker room talk."

Several current and former athletes have spoken out about that characterization, with many saying that locker room comments don't rise to the level the presidential candidate described.

Last year Brady was spotted with one of Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats in his locker. The quarterback walked back a comment he made that he thought it "would be great" if Trump won the election.

He had also joked about Trump possibly putting a putting green on the White House lawn.

LeBron James also chimed in on the Trump controversy, calling it "trash talk" while refusing to even say the Republican presidential nominee's name.

"What is locker room talk to me? It's not what that guy said," James said. "We don't disrespect women in no shape or fashion in our locker room. That never comes up. Obviously, I got a mother-in-law, a wife, a mom and a daughter and those conversations just don't go on in our locker room."

James, who led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA championship last season, said the conversations he's used to hearing in the dressing room have to do more with family, game strategy and other sports-related banter.

"What that guy was saying, I don't know what that is. That's trash talk," he said.
