The Hawks managed to ruffle some feathers when they announced their plans to hold a promo night honoring Magic City, the strip club that is also a cultural institution in Atlanta. Some NBA players voiced their displeasure with the partnership, but Draymond Green made it clear he supports it by referring to the scene inside the joint as \u201cart.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Atlanta Hawks may not be the first professional sports franchise to partner with a local business for a promotional night. However, I can\u2019t think of any other major teams that have proudly announced their plans to link up with a strip club, which is exactly what they did when they revealed they\u2019ll be celebrating \u201cMagic City Monday\u201d when they host Orlando on March 16th.<\/p>\n
That might have seemed like a fairly wild decision if you weren\u2019t familiar with Magic City\u2019s place in the Atlanta landscape.<\/p>\n
It is ostensibly a strip club, but it has transcended that label due to its role as a cultural hub<\/a> that\u2019s viewed as an almost sacred site in the hip-hop community. It also has a special place in NBA lore thanks to the wings that led to Lou Williams landing in hot water<\/a> after leaving The Bubble during the pandemic.<\/p>\n Some current and former NBA players have voiced their displeasure with the Hawks over the upcoming promo night, but there\u2019s also one man who\u2019s a big Magic City fan who has soundly endorsed it.<\/p>\n Draymond Green says the Hawks are honoring \u201cart\u201d by teaming up with Magic City<\/p>\n Luke Kornet was the first NBA player to take the Hawks to task over their version of Magic City Monda<\/a>y (a nod to the hallowed weekly gathering of the same name at the club), as he asserted the team was \u201ccomplicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n
