Tampa Mayor Explains Why Tom Brady Was Kicked Out of Public Park

Tom Brady may need some time adjusting to his new home.

The Buccaneers quarterback was working out at a park in downtown Tampa recently, but he was asked to leave after being spotted by a park employee, according to Tampa mayor Jane Castor. Why did Brady have to end his workout? He was violating the city's park closure amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

"Our parks are closed down, so a lot of our park staff patrols around to make sure people aren't doing contact sports and things like that," Tampa mayor Jane Castor said in a briefing on Monday.
