ATL Hawks Viral 'OnlyFans'-Inspired Promo Draws Pushback From Players

ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks fans were granted a different view of Harry the Hawk this week - one that seemed ... sensual.

The beloved Atlanta mascot has his own Instagram account, but could an OnlyFans be in his near future?

Promoting a new in-season tournament, the Hawks debuted an OnlyFans-inspired video early Thursday on social media showing Harry the Hawk in a 30-second "Only Hawks Fans" video.

"Only Hawks fans know where the real action is," a woman says in the clip as a wave of bed sheets move, the camera eventually leading to Harry laying in the bed and slowly rubbing his left hand up his leg and onto his chest and shoulder. "Only Hawks fans know what they really want to see, and only Hawks fans know just where to get it."

Fans are then invited to "join in and wake up your wild side" with "hot five-on-five action."

In nearly 24 hours, the viral video has gotten 37.4 million views on X, formerly Twitter. The video is also posted to Harry's Instagram story and Facebook.

While some people simply laughed at the content, others were disapproving of the way Harry was portrayed, including two star Hawks players.

"I had no part of this," point guard Trae Young said on X.

Meanwhile, shooting guard Dejounte Murray shared his sentiment on X, saying, "MANNNNNNN DELETE THIS S---!!!!!!!"

In the comments, one person pondered, "what is yalls problem…." while a second person noted that "Pierre the Pelican would never."

Another person reminded the team that kids follow the Hawks' X account while someone else praised the team's efforts saying, "Everybody who had a hand in putting this together deserves a raise."

The Hawks will take on the Detroit Pistons in the in-season tournament at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Little Caesers Arena.
