U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who co-owns Atlanta's WNBA franchise, objected to the league’s plans to honor the Black Lives Matter movement because it "undermines the potential of the sport and sends a message of exclusion.” #gapol #gasenhttps://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/loeffler-opposes-wnba-plan-spread-black-lives-matter-message/ybTbHIpzZx7dbRlz3sfLiM/ …
“In a time when polarizing politics is as divisive as ever, sports has the power to be a unifying antidote,” wrote Loeffler. “And now more than ever, we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports.” #gasen #gapolhttps://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/loeffler-opposes-wnba-plan-spread-black-lives-matter-message/ybTbHIpzZx7dbRlz3sfLiM/ …
The WNBA players union responds: #gasen

In a statement, the @WNBA distanced itself from Loeffler, noting she isn't involved in day-to-day operations of the team.
"... we, along with the teams and players, will continue to use our platforms to vigorously advocate for social justice." #gasenhttps://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/loeffler-opposes-wnba-plan-spread-black-lives-matter-message/ybTbHIpzZx7dbRlz3sfLiM/ …
Georgia @RepDougCollins, a Republican challenging Loeffler, responds: "Now that she’s pretending to be a conservative to run for public office, she should explain her silence and divest herself of this team and her past progressive advocacy.” #gapol #gasenpic.twitter.com/NxvtNYK1Og
.@Candace_Parker on @SenatorLoeffler: "This is a league that's 80% African-American women ... There's no place in the league for her." #gapol #gasenhttps://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1280659864780324864 …
.@staceyabrams on the @WNBA fallout: “Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are the Senators we need. They are on the right side of history and will unite all Georgians to move us forward." #gapol #gasenpic.twitter.com/HnNuNYfuWZ
.@SenatorLoeffler is addressing her comments now at a campaign event in Woodstock: “This is where I have to draw the line. We have to rally behind American values, behind the American flag. #gasenpic.twitter.com/cwIf0vr26j
And that's why we elected her...oh wait...
The worst thing for @KLoeffler when she loses is that she'll have nothing to come back to. She's burnt all her bridges with polite society in Atlanta.
