Atlanta Hawks Being Sued over Racism Claims

New Orleans Pelicans v Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks are in hot water this week after racism claims surfaced regarding their treatment of celebrities at team games.

In a detailed description of what happened, an individual working for the Atlanta Hawks claims that the treatment differed between black and white individuals who were hoping to attend a game. This treatment involves timetables that vastly differed based on color of skin, and claims that the front office understood what was happening. Allegedly, the team treated Black Celebrities differently than white ones while giving access to games. 

But there are two sides to every story....

Steve Gorman Sports explained what this could mean for the franchise and the NBA as an entertainment business moving forward, as well as discussed the possibility that this disgruntled employee could just be looking to lash out. Listen here:
