54% Believe Locker Room Talk is Similar to the Trump Tape<\/em><\/p>\n

South Orange, NJ, November 2, 2016 — By a 58% to 24% margin, Americans believe that professional leagues and college conferences are not doing enough to police instances of sexual abuse by athletes.<\/p>\n

This was the finding of a national poll conducted last week by the Seton Hall Sports Poll. The poll spoke to 841 adults (landlines and cellphones), and has a margin of error of +\/- 3.4%.<\/p>\n

A total of 58% said \u201cno\u201d on the question of doing enough to police the instances, with only 24% saying enough was being done.<\/p>\n

68% felt that universities were commonly hiding instances of sexual abuse by athletes, with only 21% feeling they were not hiding those instances.<\/p>\n

76% felt the NFL should have stronger penalties for players involved in domestic violence cases, with only 15% saying \u201cno\u201d. A third of respondents – 33% – felt that reports of sexual abuse by athletes make them less interested in following sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of the policing of sex abuse by athletes is not going away, and there seems to be a clear call for the organizing bodies to step up on areas of policing and punishment,\u201d noted Rick Gentile, director of the Poll, which is sponsored by The Sharkey Institute.<\/p>\n

By 72% to 16%, Americans believe that male athletes discuss their sexual conquests of women in locker room discussions. That finding was evenly placed among men (73%) and women (71%). By 54% to 33% American believe that athletes speak in the manner expressed by Donald Trump in his 2005 tape, with 58% of males thinking \u201cyes, they do\u201d and 51% of women thinking the same.<\/p>\n

Rick Gentile was interviewed by Seth Everett for a podcast on the poll\u2019s findings, which can be heard at https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/seton-hall-sports-poll\/id1053266467?mt=2&i=377401371<\/a><\/p>\n
