It’s not often that an active NBA player publicly challenges another franchise for promotional events and decisions, but that’s exactly what happened today. After the Atlanta Hawks recently announced ‘Magic City Night’ for their match against the Orlando Magic in March, San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet spoke up, and his message was clear.
“This week the Atlanta Hawks “announced a special one-night collaboration to celebrate the city’s iconic cultural institution Magic City”…” Kornet wrote on his Medium blog.
He continued, “In its press release the Hawks failed to acknowledge that this place is, as the business itself boasts, “Atlanta’s premier strip club.” Given this fact, I would like to respectfully ask that the Atlanta Hawks cancel this promotional night with Magic City.”
