Serena’s umbrella holder is a pretty cool guy. Serena and daughters are blessed to have him. ❤

I love the heck out of this man. He see's a void and creates and fills it and isn't afraid to speak up for the most disenfranchised segment of the population.

Wow, such an amazing guy! He takes you from "That's cool" to feeling so inspired in under 6 minutes. Have been a fan for years, this just shows why. He recognises problems, and creates solutions!

[FourSeasons]

Good for him...I hope it will be a successful event now and in the future.

[samseyes]

This is a GOOD dude. He celebrates and supports our ladies, particularly women of color.

I wished they had this when I was younger.

Alexis is down to earth. You are fantastic!!❤

CBS is the class of the Alphabet. This is the best cast Mornings has ever had.

This is great for women track athletes. The Grand Slam Track League that Michael Johnson is starting will be better overall for the athletes. It will be 4 per year like tennis and golf. Big prizes and top 8 athletes. $100, 000 for first place, $10, 000 for 8th place and Sydney McLaughlin Levrone was the first to sign up. So having Athlos is a nice addition

[zakariyaHarrison]

I pray this organization stands to its mission and truly support the women of T&F for generations to come.

Mr Ohanian should find a sponsor for that lone, female, sherpa, that has to work in a grocery store in Connecticut. Netflix has the documentary, "Mountain Queen", about her.

[ametbeal]

That's funny bc I thought about taking crown tiara to welcome Sha'carri Richardson at the airport in Dallas. We love her in Dallas. Never happened bc...lazy.
Also bring back competitions in US schools and enough with that participation trophies

I wish he had been honest about Angel City. I am not sure why he took credit for it. He did not come up with the idea nor start the team. "Originally founded by actor Natalie Portman and entrepreneurs Kara Nortman and Julie Uhrman, the expansion team was the unexpected result of connections between Portman, Nortman and the USWNT players’ association via Time’s Up. The three brought on businessman Alexis Ohanian as the club’s largest shareholder and controlling owner before the team’s launch in 2020. Despite that title, Ohanian did not actually control the Angel City board, writing on social media that it was “one of many hard lessons (he) learned as a first-time sports team owner”."

What brand shoes are those he's wearing?

Sit and have several seats says WENDY WILLIAMS!

I wished that he would have some real music like from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s instead of all that attitude talk (rap) to a beat. The younger generation cannot appreciate what they’re not exposed to. Real music please ! Cameo, Charlie Wilson, Chaka Khan, Atlantic Star. Real Music!!! Please!
