Did the Atlanta Hawks lose you as a fan after they unveiled those horrid neon green jerseys? If so, don’t worry — they are going to do everything in their power to get you back. It doesn’t matter if they have to take advantage of the Ashley Madison scandal to do it.
… Wait what?
Yes, apparently the Hawks have hired three people named Ashley Madison to promote 10-game flex plans. There’s even a sleazy video ad to go with it!

The details via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
“The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club announced today that they have signed three real-life people named Ashley Madison to promote the team’s new 10-game flex plans. Fans are encouraged to start a new love affair with the team by customizing their own unique ticket plan to ensure they are at all of the top games during the 2015-16 season and receive the best selection of games, seats and pricing.”The three Ashley Madisons are all Georgia residents, comprised of two females and one male.”
Sure enough, if you head on over to the Hawks’ team site, you get hit with a scandalous looking Harry the Hawk:
Honestly we expect nothing less from the marketing geniuses behind “Swipe Right Night.”
