Coach Tortorella has the brass to take a stand concerning the anthem!

Team USA hockey coach says he'll bench any player who sits for national anthem | Fox News

Quote:
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.
Colorful. Yeah that's one way to describe Tortorella. Love him or hate him, he is a show unto himself when he is an NHL coach (go watch some of his antics on YouTube). It didn't surprise me one bit that he would speak up and take a stand. He's one of those guys that right or wrong, he'll tell you what he thinks.
