Atlanta Hawks to be sold


The NBA's Atlanta Hawks are set to be sold to a group led by businessman Tony Ressler. The deal must be approved by the NBA Board of Governors. It comes after the team's majority owner, Bruce Levenson, put it on the market after an email he sent to team officials complaining of black fans driving down white attendance at games became public. The sale price was reported by news outlets as between $730 million and $850 million.
