Team USA Hockey Coach: STAND FOR THE ANTHEM, OR GO HOME San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made headlines this month when he refused to stand for the National Anthem. When he was confronted on the issue, he claimed his actions were part of a half-hearted effort to protest oppression in America. Now, John Tortorella, the coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets told ESPN that he will not tolerate any players sitting in solidarity with 49ers. Tortorella will be making calls for the American team in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. If any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game, he said, according to the networks reporter Linda Cohn. What do you think? Do more coaches need to take a stand like Tortorella has?
