He's also widely considered a joke and Team USA's goal is not getting laughed off the ice in Toronto. Seth Jones is not crying himself to sleep over this one.

da

That five people on twitter thinking Torts is a joke doesn't mean his words don't have influence and impact in the hockey community.

And even if everyone did universally agree that he's a joke... that has nothing to do with the fact that it's awful for him to speak as head coach representing team USA and use that platform to say things like this?

Re: Fandom Venting

Fan and media opinion of Tortorella and team USA has nothing to do with the experience of a black man working under someone with a lot of power over his career, who Jones maybe has respect for, who is happy to diminish black lives and rights? Whatever Jones thinks, I have no clue, but it's not a good thing, and Torts being a joke or cute with a kid doesn't make it or him any less bad.
