The NBA All-Star Game is usually a time for people to gather together from across the country. Atlanta’s Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is telling you to stay at home for this year’s All-Star game that will happen on March 7th. Bottoms said, “We are in agreement that this is a made-for-TV event only, and people should not travel to Atlanta to party. There will be no NBA-sanctioned events open to the public, and we strongly encourage promoters, clubs, bars, etc., not to host events in the city related to this game.” Bottoms posted this message on Instagram: “#WeFull.”
Under normal circumstances we’d be grateful for the opportunity to host the NBA All-Star game, but this isn’t a typical year. I’ve shared my concerns w/ @NBA & @ATLHawks & agree this is a made-for-TV event only & people shouldn’t travel to Atlanta to party.https://t.co/Bql0nMGExZ
