Nba, atlanta hawks' strip club promotion cancelled

NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that the league has banned a planned advertising promotion with a strip club for the Atlanta Hawks' home game on March 16.

Strip club promotion sparks controversy

The Hawks had planned to honor the strip club, known as 'Magic City', during their game against the Orlando Magic. However, the NBA intervened, citing concerns from the broader NBA community, including fans, partners, and staff.

While the Hawks insisted there would be no explicit adult content inside the arena, the mere association with the strip club was deemed too risky for the family-oriented NBA brand.

As a result, the strip club promotion has been scrapped, with the game proceeding as scheduled. The NBA's message is clear: when it comes to strip club advertising, the fun stops.
