Roger Goodell: Trump's attitudes toward women hard to explain to my daughters

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he found it tough to explain President-elect Donald Trump's comments on women to his daughters, according to The New York Times.

In October, a recording surfaced of Trump bragging about sexual assault, saying he could grab women by the genitals because he was a celebrity. Trump later defended the comments as "locker-room talk."

Goodell said those types of comments would make the NFL's goal of reducing domestic violence incidents within the league more difficult. He also said it was difficult to explain to his family.

“It makes my job harder at home too,” Goodell said at the Times' DealBook conference on Thursday.
