Sports pundit Michelle Beadle ripped into San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet over his blog post calling for the Atlanta Hawks to end their “Magic City Night” promotion, touting the famed strip club Magic City.<\/p>\n

Kornet urged the Hawks to cancel the promotion and suggested NBA players and officials “promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love.”<\/p>\n

Beadle said on her podcast, “Beadle & Decker,” that Kornet should “take a seat.”<\/p>\n

“Luke Kornet, I need you to take a seat,” she said. “I love you, the man, because you\u2019re a Spur and that\u2019s how this game works. And all respect to his \u2026 he wrote a long, long blog about why the Atlanta Hawks should respectfully rescind \u2018Magic Monday.\u2019 \u2026 As a woman, I am not offended by the idea of \u2018Magic Monday.\u2019 Again, I cannot say this enough, Magic City, for anyone who\u2019s been to Atlanta, it\u2019s not just a t—y bar. I feel like that\u2019s sort of the vibes that maybe people are getting.<\/p>\n

“Secondly, and more importantly is, thank you, white knight. We don\u2019t need this. I\u2019ve had enough of men telling us what we can and shouldn\u2019t and what we should want and what we should need and how we should act. No, no, no, these are not trafficked 12-year-olds, okay? We have that, and none of those people are being brought forward. This is not that. These are grown a– women who have a job. I don\u2019t understand, are you shaming that industry as part of this blog? I can\u2019t really understand the motivation. And most importantly, that\u2019s not even a Spurs game, bruh. That\u2019s Magic-Hawks. It has nothing to do with you, and he\u2019s got like a petition. He actually wants people to sign on, and I\u2019m just, I\u2019m a little confused by it.”<\/p>\n

Kornet wrote that allowing the night to continue “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.”<\/p>\n

He added that “others throughout the league” were surprised by the Hawks\u2019 decision to have this promotional night.<\/p>\n

“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,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
