I liked the response by Team USA's hockey coach John Tortorella. "If any of my players sit on the bench for the National Anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game."

I like that! Good for him for saying it. After all, everyone else says what they feel.

Let's see how long he sticks with that once the PC crowd, BLM and other lefty groups start demanding his retraction or resignation.

They don't hold too much sway over hockey - I wish the same sentiment was held by the coaches for all teams representing the country (e.g. Women's national soccer team and others).

Agreed, I too was an athlete but lacked the discipline and maybe the talent to get wealthy from it maybe I should protest because the "man" is keeping me down....
A company like the NFL needs to put their foot down and squash this.
If I'm an owner and made a multi million dollar contract to an athlete and he jeopardizes my profit by bringing race politics onto the job he's gone, benched, suspended etc...

The billionaire boys club don't give a damn about what's right, moral or American - only in what it takes to continue raking in the bucks. If their employees want to make public protests while working, fine with the owners as long as the employees show up and do their job. Well, as long as the protests don't run afoul of whatever the commandant of the NFL says that day is league policy about a particular subject.

Yeah unfortunately true the Denver Bronco's Marshall was scheduled for a signing here in the Springs but the owner of the store cancelled the event because of negative public feedback.

Not many BLM types are into hockey like they are football and basketball.
