NBA cancels Magic City Night

hot take: it's pretty stupid to do a strip club promo night as a pro team but it's even stupider to do a chicken wing promo night when one of the league sponsors is a chicken wing restaurant

Absolutely wild at the NBA would do this while cozying up to Israel, which is basically Disneyland for pedophiles.

"Now cost-cutting is not unique to private equity firms at all. If the NBA were doing the same thing with hedge funds, cutting costs would likely still be a part of their financial strategy" -Sabelo Masemola via Substack sabelomasemola.substack.com/p/the-nba-an...

I REALLY, REALLY need people to read the official statement again. Because the league spells out who and why they canceled Magic City night. It wasn’t about morals, it was because the money said so.

Atlanta Hawks respond to NBA’s decision regarding the team’s controversial Magic City promo night.

Karl Malone’s mere presence anywhere is so much more offensive than anything planned for Magic City night.

Why not? Magic City is an iconic cultural landmark!

Aoki, DraftKings Co-Founder Seek Dismissal of NFT Fraud Suit Steve Aoki and DraftKings co-founder Matthew Kalish move to dismiss a proposed class action accusing them of promoting Metazoo NFTs without disclosing compensation.

I know arguing is fun, but no the NBA canceling strip club night is not bad for women. That's absurd and requires gymnastics to land at that take. And somehow it's filling my timeline.

Magic City Monday is canceled. Can’t wait to see all the other things the nba cancels that are harmful to women!

The good ppl at the game get to miss out on lemon pepper wings, exclusive merch they probably couldve resold(thats pronaly already been manufactured) and TIs opinions(tossup). Not a dancer in sight. Magic City shoukd have a promotion after game for all ticket holders that day

The NBA canceled the Atlanta Hawks' Magic City Monday promotion after widespread stakeholder concerns, following Luke Kornet's viral open letter questioning the family-friendly appropriateness of celebrating a strip club.

So strippers are bad but gambling and ruining your family’s lives; splendid. According to the NBA

What is the NBA going to do if they just held the Magic City promotion anyway?

Imagine you bought a ticket to Magic City night at that inflated price and now the whole thing is canceled? I would never buy another thing the NBA sold in this life or the next. Them people just out their money.

NBA Cancels Hawks’ Magic City Night After Backlash "Magic City Night" at the Atlanta Hawks game is no more -- the NBA just swooped in and canceled the highly anticipated March 16 promotion due to concerns raised throughout the league about giving a strip club the spotlight. Commish Adam Silver…

This was a hilarious idea, absolutely would've been a great local promotion, the fact that the story went national meant the NBA had to go no-fun league. Magic City's cultural longevity due to rap and basketball is pretty unprecedented.

So what would the NBA do if Atlanta just...went ahead with Magic City night? They can't take the team away. They could fine them I guess, but could they take picks away? C'mon Hawks, do it!

Buy there is no bouncing booty in the streets of downtown Magic City night had officially been shutdown

#NBA Breaking: NBA Cancels Hawks’ Plans to Honor Magic City Club

Bruhhhhhhhh Magic City Night was gonna be so fucking cool. People were renting entire sections out for $50K c'mon. Why let it be announced and several weeks later, RIGHT BEFORE THAT GAME, say "nope." Every NBA team should have a no children night, just 1/41 home games.

It would have been approved had they called it Magic City Kalshi Crypto Night

yeah the association was never gonna allow the magic city promo lol

I love how the NBA draws the line at a strip club promotion involving lemon pepper wings, but hardcore gambling, booze and a player* who tried to kill his own children by throwing billiard balls through the rear window of the car they were sitting in are cool.

Statement from NBA commissioner Adam Silver: “When we became aware of the Atlanta Hawks’ scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their plans and rationale.  While we appreciate the team’s perspective and their desire to move forward, [1/2]

So you're telling me Magic City Night is not about Orlando?

Of all the problems in the NBA faces, I would put one franchise featuring Magic City in an event much lower than taking money from gambling and alcohol.

It is now the official position of the NBA that strippers are more degenerate than gambling, which is obviously incorrect

Hawks should do Magic City Night anyway and just say it’s for carbon offsets

Come the fuck on. Cancel Magic City night but holding the Clippers accountable? Never.

Magic City night is canceled per the NBA commissioner
