3月16日，亚特兰大老鹰队将在对阵奥兰多魔术队的比赛中举办一场主题之夜活动。
考虑到当晚的对手，这个名为“魔法城周一 (Magic City Monday)”的主题似乎是有意让人产生混淆。但实际上，“魔法城 (Magic City)”是一家总部位于亚特兰大的脱衣舞俱乐部，因在嘻哈专辑中被多次提及而闻名。2020年新冠肺炎疫情期间，路·威廉姆斯 (Lou Williams) 在离开NBA隔离赛区“泡泡”后曾造访该场所，这也导致他回营后不得不接受更长时间的隔离，这一事件也让该俱乐部声名大噪。

马刺队大个子卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 是目前仅有的几位公开对该活动表示反对的球员之一。他直言不讳地批评了这一主题之夜，认为这“会给我们的NBA群体形象抹黑，特别是在对社会中潜在的女性物化和不当对待方面起到了推波助澜的作用”。

作为一名虔诚的天主教徒，科内特表示：“这并不能代表我以及NBA许多其他人的真实想法。所以我认为我必须站出来，我想要确保这部分讨论的声音被表达出来，尽管这会伴随着人们的批评之类的，而这些也正是人们可能犹豫是否要发声的常态化原因。”
亚特兰大老鹰队在新闻稿中将“魔法城”称为一家“标志性的文化机构”。
科内特继续说道：“我们渴望提供一个环境，让所有年龄段的球迷都能安全地来观看并享受篮球比赛，并且我们可以问心无愧地庆祝社区的历史和文化。庆祝脱衣舞俱乐部与这一愿景并不相符。”
CBS的布拉德·博特金 (Brad Botkin) 昨晚深夜报道称，老鹰队已经声明他们不会取消该活动。

Open Thread: Luke Kornet speaks out against Atlanta Hawks “Magic Night” promotion
On March 16, the Atlanta Hawks are hosting a theme night as they play against the Orlando Magic.
The theme “Magic City Monday,” seems purposefully confusing considering their opponent for the evening. But Magic City is an Atlanta based strip club made famous for being mentioned in hip-hop albums. The venue was also notably visited by Lou Williams in 2020 after leaving the NBA’s quarantine bubble during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading him to have to adhere to an extended quarantine.
Magic on a Monday?

Spurs big man Luke Kornet so far has been one of the only players to verbalize opposition to the event. He spoke out against the theme night as it “would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically in being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society.”

Kornet, a devout Catholic, stated, “it didn’t really represent what I know myself and a lot of others throughout the NBA felt. So think I did thins, I want to make sure that part of the discussion is expressed and it comes with people criticism and stuff like that that’s part and parcel why people might be hesitant to do so.”
An Atlanta Hawks press release referred to Magic City is an “iconic cultural institution.”
Kornet continued, “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.”
CBS’s Brad Botkin reported late last night that the Hawks have stated they will not cancel the event.
The NBA has yet to comment at the time this article was written.
