A college football announcer is in hot water after calling the opposing dance team the "new face of Ozempic." Even in a rivalry, you can't say stuff like that!

When you're on a mic, there are just some things you can't say and you know it will come back to bite you. This is one of those examples. Body shaming is a no-go in 2025 and making comments about it live in front of a large audience is not a good decision. Whiskey Riff reports that longtime band announce Joe Bullard made the comments, "congratulate them, they're now the new face of Ozempic" and you could instantly hear--and feel--the crowd's reaction. See the viral video below.

The incident happened during a game between Alabama State and Florida A&M at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee.

After the game, FAMU President Marva Johnson apologized in a statement saying, "During the halftime of the Florida A&M University vs. Alabama State University football game, an inappropriate and offensive remark was made by a Marching 100 announcer. On behalf of Florida A&M University, I extend my deepest and sincerest apologies to the Honey Beez, the Mighty Marching Hornets, President Quinton Ross, and the entire Alabama State University community."

Johnson also said the university will take steps to hold Bullard accountable and that is actions are unacceptable.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
