Former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer described the killing of George Floyd as “absolutely horrific” and said racism “must be addressed” during a televised speech to the Ohio high school class of 2020 on Saturday night.
Serving as the keynote speaker for a televised commencement special that was broadcast on WBNS-10TV in Columbus and other local networks across the state of Ohio, Meyer began his speech by addressing last week's killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, which has led to protests around the country and a nationwide conversation on racism.
“One of the most horrific videos surfaced last week in front of our very eyes,” Meyer said.
