The Atlanta Hawks are preparing to have the most epic NBA theme night of all time, and the haters are doing their best to make it rain on the p-poppin\u2019 parade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Previously, BOSSIP reported<\/a> on the March 16th \u201cMagic City Monday\u201d game that the Hawks will play against the Orlando Magic. No, the game is not celebrating the visiting team from Florida, it is celebrating one of Atlanta\u2019s most renowned cultural institutions for bangin\u2019 music, bada** buffalo wings, and beautiful women. <\/p>\n

Recently, a white San Antonio Spurs benchwarmer named *checks notes* Luke Kornet published<\/em> an essay-statement on Medium<\/a> petitioning the league and the Hawks to cancel this event in the name of \u201cprotecting women.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Former Hawks player Al Horford co-signed Luke\u2019s conservative grandstanding and reposted his statement in full on social media.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the Atlanta Hawks are not shaken by Luke and his band of anti-booty ballers\u2019 disingenuous grandstanding. There are no plans to abandon the theme night, the merch, or the two types of Magic City Kitchen lemon pepper wings that will be served that evening.<\/p>\n

Last year, Hawks principal owner Jami Gertz produced a five-part docuseries titled \u2018Magic City: An American Fantasy\u2019\u00a0for STARZ to celebrate 40 years of serving quality entertainment to the city of Atlanta. He isn\u2019t ashamed of Magic City even if Luke, Al Horford, or anybody else is. He said as much in a press release announcing the event.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dThis collaboration and\u00a0theme night\u00a0is very meaningful to me after all the work that we did to put together\u00a0\u2019Magic City: An American Fantasy\u2019,\u201d said Jami Gertz. \u201cThe iconic Atlanta institution\u00a0has made such an incredible\u00a0impact on\u00a0our\u00a0city and\u00a0its unique\u00a0culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Luke should worry about San Antonio and stay out of Atlanta\u2019s Black a** business. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
