The president of Florida A&M University on Saturday said the historically Black college ("HBCU") was taking “immediate steps to ensure accountability” after its band announcer commented on the weight of Alabama State University’s Honey Beez dancers.

During half-time of the game between the two schools, Florida A&M band announcer Joe Bullard called the dance team that performs with Alabama State’s Mighty Marching Hornets as “the new face of Ozempic,” HBCU Gameday reported.

Dr. Quinton Ross, the president of Alabama State University, called the remark “distasteful” and “short-sighted.”

“To have their artistry disrespected after such a performance is absolutely unacceptable,” Ross wrote.

“Honey Beez, please know that you are celebrated, valued, and admired for the joy that you bring to the Hornet Nation, and also for the bold and fearless way you represent the very best of ASU,” Ross wrote.

FAMU president Marva B. Johnson apologized for the remark in a statement.

“The Honey Beez represent discipline, school pride and their performance tradition is respected across the nation,” Johnson wrote.

“Such comments are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” she said of the band announcer’s remark.

I don’t think obesity should be celebrated like the moonbats have been pushing the past 10 years, but I feel this is not nice and unnecessary.

Yes they are bigger girls but they do dance and perform and have some talent. You know, not everybody is thin.

There are a lot of overweight people in the world including me. I know it and I don’t celebrate it, but insulting people just to get your kicks is just so...liberal to me.

That is an astonishingly attractive woman.

Are you sure it isn’t AI-generated?

Cautionary note for all significantly overweight folk.

These dancers were on America's Got Talent in 2017.

Wait a minute. That was eight years ago. They are still in college? Are they all going to be brain surgeons?

Thanks> I’m a straight female, so the “Eye Bleach” didn’t help much.

And...personally, AI isn't really needed in this world to show beautiful women to men! Case in point:
