'Your comments hurt deeply because it was a veiled 'All Lives Matter' response,' Montgomery wrote. 'It’s not that you’re tone deaf to the cry for justice, but you seemingly oppose it.

Atlanta Dream guard Renee Montgomery has conquered the basketball court both in the WNBA and before that at the University of Connecticut. But last month, Montgomery decided there was a bigger battle to be contested, so she made theLittle did she know her first major battle would put her on the opposite side of her own team owner.

Montgomery, who won WNBA championships with the Minnesota Lynx in 2015 and 2017 before signing a multiyear contract with Atlanta in 2018, also shared her disappointment with Loeffler on Tuesday. She tweeted,"I’m pretty sad to see that my team ownership is not supportive of the movement & all that it stands for." Montgomery also suggested the two could have a conversation about the topic.

"Imagine your friend overwhelmed with grief, tears flowing down her cheeks, confiding in you that she has breast cancer. How good of a friend would you be if you crossed your arms and replied, 'All cancers matter?'

why doesn't the co owner focus on laws that affect the people of the state as far the prisons? if no one is at the table to speak up for us how do they truly know what our grievances are?

is there representation at the table offering suggestions on how to bring awareness to blm by going into the communities it affects? Why is a member of state co owner of a league? is that not conflict of interest? kaper had a point in his stand but he picked the wrong place

Loeffler is a hypocrite, 'Sports and politics shouldn't mix.Well Sen . Loeffler sell your part of the team!

A veiled all lives matter response. Do you know how pathetic that sounds

Yawn

The average BLM supporters wouldn’t know what Markxist principles are. All they see is colour.

Opposing socialism, racism and anti-semitism is now opposing “justice”....

BLM endorsement from the WMBA is not needed or wanted. Basketball is a sport and no politics belong in Sports, not in football, golf, soccer, racing or any other sport. Sports are people's way of having a relaxing fun time with their families. Hate our country? Leave Please !!!!

The players are employees, if they don't like what an owner thinks or believes they can always go somewhere else.

Save that flag talk until that flag truly represents a Godly nation with LIBERTY & JUSTICE for 'all'- stop telling that lie !!! She's never had to walk even a few steps in those shoes. She speaks from a place of ignorance & does not know how loudly offense her words are.

Fyi that’s Tiffany Hayes in the picture not Renee Montgomery.

Racist BLM killed a black 8 year old girl

itsreneem_ Hopefully I have the right Renee. Your American Dream of BlackLivesMatter is not big enough for America. The American Dream of AllLivesMatter is big enough for you. I hope you pursue it through your play and your life. KLoeffler

ALL LIVES MATTER...

Silence and indifference are as good as racism and opposition. Every citizen of the world should be protesting these unneeded armed white supremicists we call cops.

Get over yourself.

Each its own... BLM has done a great job...or DESTRUCTION usa...expect...Anti Christ...READ about it...you deserve what you wished for vs the nation paying for your womb 2 tomb blood sucking hateful existence while other nations like AFRICA are still in Clans raping one another

If You Feel Like You're Living in a Dream, You Might Be Dissociating'It’s as if everything has been lit up like I’m on a movie set. Nothing looks real. I can’t emphasize that enough — everything feels like I’m in a dream, but it’s a dream I can’t escape from.' Only during the week I’ve known what dissociation is. Lol 😆 I read that Aquarian’s experience this a lot too.
