NBA player Luke Kornet has called on the Atlanta Hawks to cancel their upcoming collaboration with Magic City, a strip club. In a blog post, Kornet expressed his concern that the promotion, which includes a live performance by Atlanta native T.I. and the sale of Magic City's famous chicken wings and hoodies, would reflect poorly on the NBA community and contribute to the objectification and mistreatment of women. He emphasized that the adult entertainment industry often involves abuse, harassment, and violence against women, regardless of how they enter the industry. Kornet believes that the Hawks' association with a strip club goes against the league's values and the desire to create a safe and inclusive environment for fans of all ages. He concluded by asking the Hawks to cancel the promotion, stating that it does not align with the vision of celebrating the history and culture of communities in good conscience. This request has sparked a discussion about the appropriateness of such collaborations and the potential impact on the NBA's public image.
