Players, union call on WNBA to remove Kelly Loeffler as Atlanta Dream co-owner

The WNBA Players' Association has called on commissioner Cathy Engelbert to remove Kelly Loeffler as co-owner of the Atlanta Dream.

Loeffler wrote that promoting a "particular political agenda undermines the potential of the sport and sends a message of exclusion" and that"we need less — not more politics in sports," according to the

Good! poor white people didn’t have it great 150 years ago either. You’re coming up on 200 Yesrs of freedom!stop acting like victims for chrissakes. Do you wanna end up like Jews where 1/2 ur identity is based on victimhood &vengeance? Sorry but they dried up that field 🤷‍♂️

USA Today uses Orwellian double speak. Loeffler does not oppose 'anti-racist messages', she opposes 'racist messages'. Black Lives Matter is a racist, anti-white militant organization and putting their name on her team's jerseys is a racist insult of white and her team's fans.

When the mob gets in their feelings

What were the anti racism messages going to say? BLM? A lot of people think they're promoting racism so, why not just keep it business? Why add to the divide?

Well for starters this whole *everyone is a racist* thing is a scam perpetrated buy the left and Marxist hate groups.

The WNBA’s version of Donald Sterling.

Stick to your insider trading and let your players have a voice

Giver her back the $300 she spent on the team and remove her from the league. Pretty simple if you ask me.

NBA players, mostly black and all succesful athletes and millionaires are upset black people don’t have opportunities in America? 🤔👎🏻

The problem is many think that the phrase “black lives matter” and the BLM organization are the same thing. People have an absolute right to not want to support the BLM organization. It’s a self described Marxist group that condones violence, rioting and anti family principals.

Horrible Pandemic Profiteer who should be thrown out of office and tried for Insider Trading (w/the escalator that the crime was during the worst health crisis in modern history)

Remove KellyLoeffler from any and all government seats. Investigate her financial dealings because you are sure to find money laundering.

She should be in jail for insider trading anyway

'There is no more widespread form of institutional racism than the world wide web.'

Remember when you could escape all the political and social strife for a couple hours watching your favorite team playing your favorite sport...those days are gone forever

And as Senator, please!

A very smart owner, seeing her investment going down the drain..

Vote on November 3rd! Wash away all Republicans.

The same lady who sold her stocks before they dropped?

'You must comply' no independent thought allowed

Why they don’t the players go to another team then?

what’s the Atlanta Dream? 😂

Well, we now know she does not believe in promoting anti-racism.

Finally someone has some common sense. They have uniforms, so wear them.

Wrongthink

😊🌹

She should cut all of them. She is the owner of the team

Is it necessary for every sports team to inject politics into their playing field and uniforms? Perhaps the fans would just like to see a basketball game and not be bombarded with politics.

Isnt she also accused of insider trading that magically disappeared after donations to Lump's campaign?

just a rich bitch

Interesting the headline isn’t “we need less politics in sports” which is what she actually said.

I rather see us at the table as opposed to a jersey an nba court or even on whatever hundred street block in yellow. but that's just me

Good

Nip racism in the bud when it rears ugly head!

The Atlanta who?

If ur not against racism and not afraid to say/demonstrate it then ur for it... there’s no gray

Time to remind her she will be indicted for insider trading when her pal 45 is gone...

We stand with the players! She should be removed.

Get woke. Go broke. Ms. Loeffler understand this.

Must not be good for the portfolio, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

How dare she have an opinion!

Sen. Kelly Loeffler Rips WNBA Over Social Justice Initiative, League Fires BackThe WNBA is clapping back at a team co-owner who is blasting the league for supporting Black Lives Matter ... in war that's exploding fast. Is she the one that's under investigation for trading fraud? I think it is. Love hearing from her. LOL 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 She apparently doesn't realize that by objecting to the WNBA's embracing of BLM, she's publicly taking the position that black lives do not matter. Which is not a way to appeal to either players or fans.

Kelly Loeffler Doesn't Think Supporting Black Lives Matter Is Good for the WNBA, An 88-Percent Black LeagueGeorgia Senator Kelly Loeffler, staunch defender of the Second Amendment (for white people) and part-owner of WNBA team the Atlanta Dream, is not a fan of the WNBA’s plan to acknowledge that Black Lives Matter movement when their season starts this month. The WNBA players’ association announced on Monday that teams will be wearing warm-up shirts that read “Black Lives Matter” and “Say Her Name,” and will be putting the names of victims of police violence on their jerseys, according to the Los Angeles Times. They will also create a social justice council and start a platform called The Justice Movement, reports the Times, which will “amplify players’ voices.” Kelly Loeffler also believes ethics smd honesty are optional. And millions of us think she shouldn’t be in the US Senate, but rather in a jail cell for insider trading. DrainingTheSwamp Shouldn’t she be in jail?
