Bucs great Simeon Rice talks about the civil unrest in America

Tampa Bay Buccaneers great Simeon Rice joined “Good Morning Football” to talk about social injustice.

At this point in the year, NFL coaches and players are usually soaking up the last few weeks of rest and relaxation before training camp kicks off in July. But this year, the offseason has been one unlike any other.

The coronavirus pandemic has closed team facilities, meaning players have had to find new ways to stay in shape at home. And, with the recent death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, players have been speaking out about the social injustice in America.

Bucs great Simeon Rice, who was an instrumental part of the defense that helped win Super Bowl XXXVII, joined Good Morning Football to talk about the civil unrest in our county, along with a little football.

Take a look at the video over at NFL.com to hear Rice’s thoughts.
