Atlanta United beat Portland Timbers to win the MLS Cup on Sunday, paraded the trophy through their home city on Monday, then reportedly took the title to a strip club to continue celebrations in the evening.
A video, reportedly obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta, appears to show the MLS Cup trophy on stage at the Magic City strip club surrounded by dollar bills.
The footage then shows a scantily clad, if not nude woman twerking on the trophy.
The Magic City strip club is a famous establishment, according to GQ, and is a "proving ground" for hip-hop artists, a hive for "hustlers," and a place where "fortunes rain from the rafters."
Video and images of the incident have been circulated on social media.

The incident has somewhat overshadowed what was a massive celebration for the city of Atlanta, which had not witnessed a notable sporting achievement since the Atlanta Braves won the World Series in 1995.
Atlanta United ended the city's trophy drought when it brought the MLS Cup home after a 2-0 win over Portland Timbers at the weekend, which punctuated an excellent MLS season with significant contributions from 35-goal hero Josef Martinez, midfield playmaker Miguel Almiron, and ever-present defender Leandro Gonzalez Pirez.
Atlanta United won the title in only its second season, having joined the MLS in 2017.
