The
always-colorful John Tortorella will be behind the bench as head coach of
Team USA during the World Cup of Hockey
later this month. He's already making it
known that he's not going to tolerate
any national anthem protests from his players during the tournament.
"If any
of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will sit there the
rest of the game," Tortorella told ESPN's Linda Cohn on Tuesday.
San Francisco
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has made headlines over the past few weeks
thanks to his protests of the national anthem before his team's preseason
games. Kaepernick has chosen to remain seated or kneeled for the anthems as a
way to speak up against police brutality and racial injustice in America.
Several other athletes -- including Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane and
American soccer player Megan Rapinoe -- have followed in the quarterback's
footsteps.
