Tallahassee, FL – An announcer at a recent Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) football game has sparked significant controversy after making a remark about the Alabama State University dance team, the 'Honey Bees.' The incident occurred during a game featuring Florida A&M University (FAMU), with the announcer referring to the dance team as 'The New Face of Ozempic.' The comment, captured in a widely circulated video, immediately drew a loud and negative reaction from the crowd, with audible gasps and boos. Social media has since erupted with criticism, with many condemning the remark as inappropriate and body-shaming. Critics argue that such comments undermine the spirit of sportsmanship and respect within the HBCU community. Neither FAMU nor Alabama State University officials have yet issued a formal statement regarding the incident, but public pressure for accountability is mounting. The event has ignited a broader discussion about decorum in public address and the impact of derogatory remarks on performers and their institutions.
