It's dumb but it's also not the end of civilization because it'll end up being chicken wings night with a 5 minute TI performance at half.

Gold Club. And he would have famous competition.

Yeah. This truly is trashy.

Didn’t want to make another thread on this but Luke Kornet (Spurs) does not approve.

The NBA should desire to protect and esteem women, many of whom work diligently every day to make this the best basketball league in the world. We should promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love.

Allowing this night to go forward without protest would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically in being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society.

Regardless of how a woman finds her way into the adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected.

I’d like to encourage the league, its owners, employees and fans to hold the Atlanta Hawks to a higher standard of what they find worthy of promoting.

I and others throughout the league were surprised by and object to the Hawks’ decision. We desire to provide an environment where fans of all ages can safely come and enjoy the game of basketball and where we can celebrate the history and culture of communities in good conscience. The celebration of a strip club is not conduct aligned with that vision.

I just assumed this would be about The Cheetah Club

And the way they’re trying to say this is some iconic representation of the city of Atlanta and black culture specifically is an embarrassment to Atlanta and black people. Or at least it should be.

Meh. The black community just had a white governor call them all illiterate retards and there wasn't one peep of dissent from black leaders or the media. The same white guilt SJWs who gloss over or just plain ignore the most homophobic and misogynistic lyrics in rap and hip-hop will conveniently ignore this, too.

Lemon pepper wings included?

Adults in the room put an end to it

That was the only bright spot about taking the Greyhound bus into Atlanta when I was teenager. Magic City is right across the street and I was staring at it in awe like it was the pyramids in Egypt.

It's David Silver and his jew buddies. Plus some Spurs player said it was disrespectful to women.
