Axios: “Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) urged the WNBA to reconsider its decision to allow players to wear warmup jerseys reading ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘Say Her Name’.”
“The Georgia senator, a co-owner of Atlanta’s WNBA franchise, told Commissioner Cathy Engelbert in a letter that the move ‘undermines the potential of the sport and sends a message of exclusion.'”
“‘The truth is, we need less — not more politics in sports. … In a time when polarizing politics is as divisive as ever, sports has the power to be a unifying antidote. And now more than ever, we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports,’ Loeffler added.”
