The Atlanta Hawks caused quite a surprise when they announced plans to host a Magic City themed promotion during one of their home games. Magic City is a famous strip club located in Atlanta that regularly attracts celebrity visitors. But not everyone is in favor of the Hawks' promotion, including San Antonio Spurs big man Luke Kornet.
Luke Cornett, who runs a public online blog while playing for the Spurs, wrote a new post this week explaining his reasoning for why he thinks the Hawks should cancel their Magic City promotion night.
"This week, the Atlanta Hawks announced a special one-night-only collaboration to celebrate the city's iconic cultural institution Magic City during the team's home games against the Orlando Magic on Monday, March 16," Cornett wrote. Given this fact, I would respectfully ask that the Atlanta Hawks cancel this promotional night with the Magic City.
Cornette explained the potential dangers of working in such an industry, and suggested that the Magic City was not the type of family-friendly business the NBA should be promoting.
The Hawks' Promotional Night is currently scheduled for March 16 during the team's home game against the Orlando Magic. Ticket sales for the game have reportedly increased, and the team has already begun selling promotional merchandise.
While Cornette may be against the idea, there are others, like former NBA player Lou Williams, who expressed his support for the effort.
