Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a part-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, spoke against the league’s support for Black Lives Matter. Now she faces calls from all sides to sell her stake.

A partial ownership stake in a Women’s National Basketball Association team is currently the hottest topic in Georgia’s election season.

The Atlanta Dream has been thrust to the center of a struggle for a key U.S. Senate seat because of a fight over the meaning of Black Lives Matter. The battle involves part-owner Kelly Loeffler, the Republican U.S. senator who is trying to simultaneously fend off a conservative Republican and a Black Democrat to hold her seat in Georgia.

Our money doesn't matter as long as Kelly Loeffler is an owner

Yeah ok Kelly...Karen....

Support

cathyfrodl Good

BLM is a Marxist endeavor backed by Soros . Every Commie loves them

No is a complete sentence

Apriciat your great job forever only one person

The BLM “have nots” will always want to take away what the successful have worked hard for. It’s called class envy and it’s as old as time.

Totally against her players and the League.

SethAbramson You hate to witness Karencide. Not really. Comeuppance KarensKarma

SethAbramson A female Donald Sterling...oust this racist Trumper.

Why isn´t she in jail ?

Racist thing supports killer kkkkops just like tramp!!!!!

SethAbramson Oh this insider trading senator has an opinion and surprise surprise “it is shut up and dribble”

SethAbramson This is worse than the Clipper saga with racist Sterling.

SethAbramson Who world want to pay good money for a sports franchise right now? How could anyone pay the players' salaries with no gate and tv? She'll have to practically give it away. Vote her out.

She looks like a man

Banana 🍌 Republicans at their best!!!

Fear of loosing status and a prestigious life style. Perhaps this is the pandemic that will level the economic standing of us all.

jeannefisher17

Bye!!! 👋

SethAbramson 🐍 Perhaps she'll take her 💰💰💰 and crawl back under whatever gilded rock she came from. (No offense to reptiles.)

This bitch should be locked up

Kalaax008 White trophy wives should be seen not heard!

SethAbramson Or she could just resign from Congress.

isn't she the inside trader nothing happened to?

pattirandallen She should be part-owner no longer.

BLM is not about the simple premise that black lives do matter. Of course they do. BLM is objectively a anarchistic revolutionary vector. That’s what civilized people hate about BLM

SethAbramson Give Kelly da boot

'All sides'?! Just the Stalinists WSJ.

gargouille Is she Ann Coulter’s long lost sister?

Sorry for posting here but Please open to check the updates. Rather you can help or not, PLEASE SHARE. ❤️

More like Sen. KAREN Loeffler.

COURAGEOUS! I love it.

When are people gonna realize that it is never a good idea to have an opinion if it is going to go against the mob? The mob always turns destructive when it gets big enough because it gets brave enough. Lady, be smart, sell your shares and start over somewhere else 🤦🏻‍♂️

downrangechaos She is so white trash.

The NBA muscled a White owner of the Clippers they called a Racist to sell his Team. They made him an offer he could not refuse. BLM is about submission not Unity. Kelly wants the American Flag on Uniforms.

SHE IS REALLY STUNNING AND BRAVE

UROCKlive1 She’s so proud of her hair....

UROCKlive1 After that vote her out ofCongress

SethAbramson She won't sell until she gets an insider tip.

UROCKlive1 Racist shouldn’t own a basketball, just like Donald Sterling.

UROCKlive1 She's toast

UROCKlive1 Before she goes to jail....it's coming!!!

SethAbramson Good.

SethAbramson She should be investigated for insider trading

SethAbramson If she owns a gun I bet she has to have armored shoes.

SethAbramson She needs to resign. She’s a criminal.

SethAbramson Loeffler looks more evil than Ingraham. Can that be?

SethAbramson Sell, Kelly, Sell!

BLM as an org does not stand for what people think

SethAbramson Oh SenLoeffler this just isn't gonna work out so well for you, poor delusional thing

SethAbramson She is trash! The same ilk as TrumpCrimeFamily

People can be for the sentiment and against the Marxist organization.

Why should she profit off her hate? Can’t it just be dissolved?

SethAbramson How do R's know exactly the wrong things to say and the wrong positions to take on things? Are Loeffler's voters that racist, or is she that far up Trump's butt?

SethAbramson Soon to be “former” Senator Loeffler.

Obscene when white owners comment on BLM.

The husband is also big time donor to Trump also. It won’t help her case

In late March of 2020 “Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) benefited from stock trades worth millions of dollars shortly before the general public was alerted to the severity of the Covid-19 crisis, selling off shares in industries that have been adversely affected by the coronavirus...”

SethAbramson And she resign her senate seat!

Lmao 🤣 BLM are terrorist.

SethAbramson In case you haven't noticed, it's bad manners to not support a good cause. I'm sure the black players & white will see that you understand~sell you stake or no play~

SethAbramson She got away with insider trading and still can't STFU and keep a low profile. She shouldn't be in office.

She only called BLM out for what they really are

From another article comment -BLM are an extreme Marxist violent group formed to overthrow all systems of a civil society. Marxists/commies.

Does she have a clue?

SethAbramson Vote her corrupt ass out.

SenatorLoeffler Feckless c**t

Don’t sell and tell them all to go to hell. Of course black lives matter, Black Lives Matter is a DNC sham

SethAbramson Am I the only one who thinks she needs to cut about 8 inches off her hair? When we’re done quarantining, of course.

I believe it's just one side. She has no plans on selling.

Guessing most haven’t actually reviewed the manifesto just the phrase

She should tell them all to p off...this cancel culture is cancerous

SethAbramson Bwa ha ha ha haaaaaa

That is crazy !! Someone in sports ownership finally speaks out against this Marxist group.

SethAbramson She needs to be charged with insider trading and removed from office.

SethAbramson How can you own an NBA or WNBA team owner and still be so unenlightened that you cannot support the proposition that Black Lives Matter? Oh I know, it’s because you’re GOP senator.

Cancel culture at its finest 👌

SethAbramson I've heard about public voting against their own economic interests. I haven't heard about politicians sabotaging their own economic (and political) interests. Maybe SenatorLoeffler picked up this (insane) political tactic up from the WSJ editorial page?

SethAbramson She should sell. It’s going to tougher next time to liquidate enough assets to pay the next bribe for an ethics case brought against her.

SethAbramson KLoeffler is a grifting vulture

SethAbramson Cruella DeVille for the 21st Century. She needs to be dumped from The Senate too.

SethAbramson Sounds easy enough. Just have a closed door meeting on Capitol Hill where she finds out that the league is about to crater. I'm sure that the people in charge of her portfolio will somehow magically sell her stake completely out of the blue.

SethAbramson White privilege at it's most naked.

SethAbramson There are good reasons not to to support BLM. But I doubt her reason is one of them.

SethAbramson speaking out against BLM is basically admitting you're a white supremacist/racist. no one should be surprised.

SethAbramson The WNBA needs to force her out as the NBA did with Donald Sterling.

SethAbramson This woman is awful

As regards these pressing matters in the WNBA , Family Guy said it best: “That’s for the fan to decide”.

Kelly and her husband should have been indicted for insider trading - now this- her 15 minutes are up- time to Donald Sterling her- get her out of the WNBA

Her chin and forehead are massive.

Get her a hood and cloak, and send her on her way

White people and all decent people need to boycott and bivest from professional sports. If we don't give out dollars to these franchises, they won't survive.

All human lives matter!

Now people cannot express their opinion? extremes are harmful in any society

She is RIGHT. BLM is racist and MUST be recognized as that. ALL YOU BLM RACISTS LEAVE HER ALONE

The shares are hers, she has every right to disagree with a Marxist black mob, read 1st Amendment. This is ridiculous, these people should be arrested for harassment and: If they resist arrest, chokehold, or whatever is needed for cops to be respected

LyingLoeffler InsiderTrading LockHerUp

Just as soon as Ralph Northam resigns for wearing blackface.

I hope she doesn't sell. Let the NBA force her out and then she can sue them. Then she can expose the hypocrisy of the league by getting involved in a political movement that doesn't represent all the viewers. Sports and politics shouldn't mix.

She needs to hold her shares and keep preaching the truth about BLM! The silent majority is getting ready to stop being silent!

Hang tough Kelly. Don’t let the mob & media mob run you off.

The team is worthless. The whole league is subsidized by the NBA.

Don’t sell, extend the middle finger to this league of disingenuous sheep. You will probably rake in at least $1M from the silent majority who see BLM for what they really are, Soros’ bought and paid for pawns

She should probably sell, but mostly because she might be losing money there.

Don't back down, Kelly.

I hope she gets top dollar for her percentage. Laughing all the way to the bank.

Apparently we have freedom of speech ... as long as you’re a liberal.

she didn't speak AGAINST the support.. she just doesn't think big BLM logos need to be on the jerseys

Once she can get some inside trading info she will sell!!!!

White collar criminal with Insider trading, but this loser is above the law and got a pass on her wrong doing!! Total BS!! SenatorLoeffler 💩💩

BLM spreads hate, violence and Marxism. They destroyed cities and black communities. Anyone who supports them needs to leave our Country.

You mean the Black Liberal Mafia?

Stand your ground!

There is a women's basketball league? 😂😂😂😂😂 Does anyone watch?

She needs to hold her ground against the terrorist supporters!

Sell, sell, sell!!!!

These female athletes do not have to play basketball for The Atlanta Dream. The BLM Players should resign and Kelly Loeffler can put together a new team. playersgottogo

The league needs to force her out the way the nba forced out sterling. Deplorable.

She doesn’t get it. Clueless.

BLM is a joke. All Lives Matter.

Gee, Black money seems to matter to her; shouldn't Black lives matter as well?

Until you report on BLM mission statement, specifically the part about destroying families, shut up.

BLM is not an ALL Lives, black or any other race Matter's organization!!!

Speaking of selling stakes, what happened with her inside trading?

Ah yes, the one who sold $18m worth of stock while telling the rest of America that COVID was no big deal? Truly shocked by this further evidence that she's a sentient snot bubble.

Sell it for what? A used Kia

Sell!

Wait the WNBA has a team in Atlanta?

Bye felicia.

poll Sen.Loeffler should choose her battles more wisely?

She should get losted!!

Shes a ' see you next Tuesday' also
