Nothing says USA like threatening players if they don’t do what you want them to do.
That is exactly what team USA hockey coach John Tortorella just did.
“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.
It would be great if some of the USA Hockey players called Tortorella bluff, because the backlash would be MASSIVE if he indeed benched someone for wanting to stand up against police brutality and racial inequality.
