NBA player Luke Kornet has called on the Atlanta Hawks to cancel their controversial collaboration with Magic City, a strip club. In a blog post, Kornet expressed his concern that the event, scheduled for March 16 during the Hawks' game against the Orlando Magic, could 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, regardless of how individuals enter it. The Hawks' press release, according to Kornet, failed to acknowledge the nature of the business, which he described as 'Atlanta's premier strip club.' He believes that promoting such an establishment contradicts the NBA's values and the desire to create a safe and inclusive environment for fans of all ages. Kornet's statement highlights the tension between entertainment and social responsibility, inviting discussion on the boundaries of acceptable promotion and the potential impact on the community.
