The Atlanta Hawks made waves Thursday when they announced a one-night celebration of Magic City, a local strip club. While the move was embraced by some including former player Lou Williams, who has a history with the establishment one player came out against the promotion Monday.

That would be San Antonio Spurs big man Luke Kornet, who criticized the Hawks for "being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society" with the promotion.

Kornet, 30, addressed the issue in a newsletter Monday. In it, he asked the Hawks to cancel the promotion, explaining the NBA should "desire to protect and esteem women." Kornet said that women in the "adult entertainment industry" experience "abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected." Kornet did not feel the team was being respectful to "the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love" by highlighting Magic City.

Kornet ended the message by encouraging others to join him in asking the Hawks to cancel the Magic City promotion.

Onlyfans has completely changed that narrative. It's empowering women to be free to do what they want to do with their bodies without being under the palm of a man to do it. Many dancers/strippers would argue against his sentiment. They make bank and they love what they do. Not sure hero is the right word

"By season five, my God: I could walk into the living room, as I did in episode 13, 'The Godfather,' in a leather fringed jacket over a short red shirt and there would be a five-second break in the scene while the crowd hollered lustily at me," she writes. "I look at all this now and cringe. The show was indeed
broad, and lewd, and it wouldn't have a shot in hell of being made these days. That's a good thing: It's hard enough for young women to thrive in a world of appearances."
