with thirty two bus routes gone and Farris set to
jump twenty two percent next week. For riders, that means
fewer options, long waits, and more packed commutes starting right now,
and for drivers, brace yourself. More people are turning to cars,
(04:25):
adding to rush hour traffic. Officials say Without two hundred

ejected from the game this past weekend versus the Buffalo Bills,

Speaker 4 (09:35):
This girl brot the hotspot where we bring you youth
movies and more. So let's get off.
Speaker 14 (09:41):
Serena Williams is catching some heat from fans who say
they are disappointed by her new weight lost drug ads.
She recently opened up about losing thirty one pounds using
golp ones and she says it has helped transform her
body after having two children. After her announcement, she began
a partnership with Roe accompanied the sales g lp ones
weight loss medication. Shortly after, Serena debuted her new partnership
(10:05):
with the company, and critics began flooding her comments section
with disapproval over her public support of the product product.
She took issue with the language used in the commercial,
specifically slamming lines like after kids, it's the medicine my
body needed, and this is healthcare. Others voice concerned that
the message might negatively impact women struggling with body acceptance,
(10:27):
arguing that while the tennis champion has every right to
use the medication, she doesn't need to promote it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So what do y'all think?
Speaker 14 (10:34):
Is there a problem that she's promoting something that she
believes in ha's worked for her. Is it a problem
that she partnered with this company? What y'all think?
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Of course not?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Do you like much?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And I don't think of the problem with help people
that's diabetic promoted okay, So I mean, yeah.
Speaker 14 (10:52):
And if it's helped her positively, why not share that
If it's helped her and it has helped her positively,
so she just wants to share it, and if other
people want to use it or do it, there's nothing
wrong with that.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
I think it's great that she's honest about it too.
She just lose weight, like a lot of these celebs like, oh,
I just will tell the truth because everybody can't go
in the gym and die that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You got your knees bad and you got issues to
keep you from doing all that physical you know, physical stuff,
and you just have to lose weight where you won't
be you know, be sick.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah. Yeah, good, good for her.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Me too.
Speaker 14 (11:30):
And I think it's smart that she partnered with the
company because she's promoting it, you know, so might as
well get a piece of that. What's wrong with that?
People get deals all the time and do stuff. We
just heard the jeez got to deal with Uber because
the super Driver took them to a show. So I
think it's great that these companies are promoting and giving
them a little something because they're talking about them. A
lot of people don't get nothing for talking about people,
(11:51):
you know, So, so I think this is good. That's
just my opinion. You know, I'm one of however, mini meals.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
She looks great, trying to get the she had the baby,
because everybody body is different, and she looks great.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
So whatever she do, work for her, make her.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Feel good about herself, make herself feel better than you know,
I'm all for it because my thing is as long
as you're happy with yourself. Well what everbody you just
in't healthy and whatever the body you decide that.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You whatever works best for you is your business in
your life.
Speaker 14 (12:21):
Yeah, Like, I had a caffeine headache. I drank some
Foldi's coffee, So what what's the problem? Like, I needed
to get rid of my headache. So is it wrong
for me to say what helped me if it helps
other people? Like, that's crazy to me, right, y'all go ahead.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
You're appearing men on life big butt women like that.
So they like.
Speaker 14 (12:43):
Her husband definitely don't mind anything with her at all.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Gary. Yeah, they got married.
Speaker 14 (12:49):
You know, her butt was big when they got married,
and I don't think she did she lose her butt get.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, well, yeah no she did not. That movie had
to have get its own prescription time by the State
of Black America.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
In this morning, we have the current president of the
National Urban League, Mark Morriale.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Hey, good morning, Month and Mark.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Were happy to have you and I know it's a
lot going on in Black America.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Good morning, Ricky. This morning on the State of Black America,
I want to talk college sports. Recently, the NCAA settled
a lawsuit to reform the system through which college players
are paid for the name, image, and likeness. This settlement
(13:38):
is an unjust system masters reform, and we're urging members
of Congress to reject those laws that are necessary to
put this settlement into place. College athletics have long operated
as a planned station style economy. We're predominantly black athletes
(13:59):
in football in basketball generate billions in value without being
denied by being denied basic pay and labor protections. I've
written to the Congression of Black Caucus urging them to
oppose this reform legislation supported by a number of Republican
(14:19):
members like John Thun and Ted Cruz. Even Donald Trump
has issued an executive order. And the flaw with this
system is that instead of a system through which college
athletes participate through a revenue sharing in the almost twenty
billion dollar industry called college sports. It caps the amount
(14:43):
that they can receive. This is inconsistent with a Supreme
Court decision which initiated this entire discussion. The Supreme Court
struck down all of these limitations and said that each
individual player had the right to their name, image and likeness,
which means they could do endorsements, they could be paid
(15:05):
to play college sports. College sports operates a lot like
the pros, big sponsorships, television contracts, swag and merchandise being
sold in this settlement. Here's the flaw. It excludes media
rights revenue all together, cutting the players off from an
(15:28):
important source. This is a bad deal. It keeps in
place this plantation style economy, and these student athletes, ninety
eight percent of which will never make it to the
pro level, are being denied basic rights. Let's stand up
for our student athletes. Just stand up for a system
(15:51):
that denies wealth and in favor of transferring that wealth
to those that are producing the dollars in the wealth.
Of those are the players, the student athletes. I'm Mark
Morel and I lead the National Urban League. This is
a state of Black American that's always great to be
with Ricky on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show. Follow me
(16:12):
across all social media and I will see you next
week on the radio and for more, follow NU on
dot org. Follow at in That Urban League and at
Mark Moreal for more on this important conversation about student athletes.
Speaker 4 (16:27):

under no circumstances, if y'all go out, should you hold

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Sleeping with it is one thing, but walking in public

if Shador Sanders is gonna make the quarterback depth chart
on the fifty three man roster with the Cleveland Browns.
Only time will tell. In the meantime, his older brother
(06:40):
Shiloh Sanders, was released from Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being
ejected from the game this past weekend versus the Buffalo Bills,
he got into a scuffle with tight end Zach Davidson
a Buffalo and threw a punch. He can't throw punches, man,
I mean, it is where it is. It's the new rules.
So stephen A. Smith had some words for Shiloh and
should do it?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
They young should doing Shiloh. I get it.
Speaker 12 (07:04):
The protective of their daddy, I get it, but somebody
needs to tell them that moving forward, as you communicate
in defense of your dad and what he's doing, how
you communicating, how you come across matters because you represent
him and you represent the program.
Speaker 11 (07:23):
Yeah, man, I mean you can't throw punches, man, I
mean I know Shiloh was.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
First he was just blocking them. They was blocking them.
They were just in the scuffle. This it's part of
football and the new rules. With the new rules, now,
I love it. I love the physicality of what happened,
but under the new rules, you can't throw punch.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It looked like it was an instinctive punch.
Speaker 11 (07:42):
I think they were looking for something, you know, shallow
Listen listen, man, it's shallow.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Good. Yes, he is is he good enough to be
in the league? Yes, he is. Is he a good
enough to be a starter?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (07:51):
I mean he's definitely good enough to be on somebody roster,
So you know, I don't know. That's just me man,

butt at doors from brack and he was arrested justice
weekend for doing it at Walterings. Call him the butts

Speaker 4 (09:35):
This girl brot the hotspot where we bring you youth

Speaker 14 (09:41):
Serena Williams is catching some heat from fans who say
they are disappointed by her new weight lost drug ads.
She recently opened up about losing thirty one pounds using
golp ones and she says it has helped transform her
body after having two children. After her announcement, she began
a partnership with Roe accompanied the sales g lp ones
weight loss medication. Shortly after, Serena debuted her new partnership
(10:05):
with the company, and critics began flooding her comments section
with disapproval over her public support of the product product.
She took issue with the language used in the commercial,
specifically slamming lines like after kids, it's the medicine my
body needed, and this is healthcare. Others voice concerned that
the message might negatively impact women struggling with body acceptance,
(10:27):
arguing that while the tennis champion has every right to
use the medication, she doesn't need to promote it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So what do y'all think?
Speaker 14 (10:34):
Is there a problem that she's promoting something that she
believes in ha's worked for her. Is it a problem
that she partnered with this company? What y'all think?
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Of course not?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Do you like much?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And I don't think of the problem with help people
that's diabetic promoted okay, So I mean, yeah.
Speaker 14 (10:52):
And if it's helped her positively, why not share that
If it's helped her and it has helped her positively,
so she just wants to share it, and if other
people want to use it or do it, there's nothing
wrong with that.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
I think it's great that she's honest about it too.
She just lose weight, like a lot of these celebs like, oh,
I just will tell the truth because everybody can't go
in the gym and die that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You got your knees bad and you got issues to
keep you from doing all that physical you know, physical stuff,
and you just have to lose weight where you won't
be you know, be sick.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah. Yeah, good, good for her.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Me too.
Speaker 14 (11:30):
And I think it's smart that she partnered with the
company because she's promoting it, you know, so might as
well get a piece of that. What's wrong with that?
People get deals all the time and do stuff. We
just heard the jeez got to deal with Uber because
the super Driver took them to a show. So I
think it's great that these companies are promoting and giving
them a little something because they're talking about them. A
lot of people don't get nothing for talking about people,
(11:51):
you know, So, so I think this is good. That's
just my opinion. You know, I'm one of however, mini meals.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
She looks great, trying to get the she had the baby,
because everybody body is different, and she looks great.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
So whatever she do, work for her, make her.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Feel good about herself, make herself feel better than you know,
I'm all for it because my thing is as long
as you're happy with yourself. Well what everbody you just
in't healthy and whatever the body you decide that.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You whatever works best for you is your business in
your life.
Speaker 14 (12:21):
Yeah, Like, I had a caffeine headache. I drank some
Foldi's coffee, So what what's the problem? Like, I needed
to get rid of my headache. So is it wrong
for me to say what helped me if it helps
other people? Like, that's crazy to me, right, y'all go ahead.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
You're appearing men on life big butt women like that.
So they like.
Speaker 14 (12:43):
Her husband definitely don't mind anything with her at all.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Gary. Yeah, they got married.
Speaker 14 (12:49):
You know, her butt was big when they got married,
and I don't think she did she lose her butt get.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, well, yeah no she did not. That movie had
to have get its own prescription time by the State
of Black America.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
In this morning, we have the current president of the
National Urban League, Mark Morriale.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Hey, good morning, Month and Mark.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Were happy to have you and I know it's a
lot going on in Black America.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Good morning, Ricky. This morning on the State of Black America,
I want to talk college sports. Recently, the NCAA settled
a lawsuit to reform the system through which college players
are paid for the name, image, and likeness. This settlement
(13:38):
is an unjust system masters reform, and we're urging members
of Congress to reject those laws that are necessary to
put this settlement into place. College athletics have long operated
as a planned station style economy. We're predominantly black athletes
(13:59):
in football in basketball generate billions in value without being
denied by being denied basic pay and labor protections. I've
written to the Congression of Black Caucus urging them to
oppose this reform legislation supported by a number of Republican
(14:19):
members like John Thun and Ted Cruz. Even Donald Trump
has issued an executive order. And the flaw with this
system is that instead of a system through which college
athletes participate through a revenue sharing in the almost twenty
billion dollar industry called college sports. It caps the amount
(14:43):
that they can receive. This is inconsistent with a Supreme
Court decision which initiated this entire discussion. The Supreme Court
struck down all of these limitations and said that each
individual player had the right to their name, image and likeness,
which means they could do endorsements, they could be paid
(15:05):
to play college sports. College sports operates a lot like
the pros, big sponsorships, television contracts, swag and merchandise being
sold in this settlement. Here's the flaw. It excludes media
rights revenue all together, cutting the players off from an
(15:28):
important source. This is a bad deal. It keeps in
place this plantation style economy, and these student athletes, ninety
eight percent of which will never make it to the
pro level, are being denied basic rights. Let's stand up
for our student athletes. Just stand up for a system
(15:51):
that denies wealth and in favor of transferring that wealth
to those that are producing the dollars in the wealth.
Of those are the players, the student athletes. I'm Mark
Morel and I lead the National Urban League. This is
a state of Black American that's always great to be
with Ricky on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show. Follow me
(16:12):
across all social media and I will see you next
week on the radio and for more, follow NU on
dot org. Follow at in That Urban League and at
Mark Moreal for more on this important conversation about student athletes.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
It's the Smiley Money Shows.
