Lightning's Brown First NHL Player To Protest During National Anthem

Lightning RW J.T. Brown last night became the "first NHL player this season to make a silent protest during the national anthem before a regular-season game." Brown, one of about 30 black players in the NHL, "raised a closed right fist while on the bench before the game" against the Panthers. Brown said that he "consulted with his family and several members of the active military about protesting" and "decided he wouldn't kneel or sit." Brown yesterday gave coaches and teammates a "head's up about his protest" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 10/8).
