The March game vs. Orlando Magic will feature TI and Magic City wings, with branded hoodies on offer.
Kornet argued the theme night does not align with the Hawks’ vision of a welcoming environment for fans of all ages.
The Hawks’ press release framed Magic City as a culturally significant venue in hip-hop and Black culture.
Kornet’s stance highlights ongoing tension over sponsorships and public celebrations in sports.
The theme night was planned for a Hawks game against the Orlando Magic on March 16.
Magic City is described as Atlanta’s premier strip club in its own business branding.
The narrative places the night within broader debates about objectification and community standards in sports.
