Dream co-owner Kelly Loeffler critical of WNBA's Black Lives Matter initiative
ESPN ^ | July 7, 2020

Posted on 07/07/2020 6:21:32 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), co-owner of the Atlanta Dream, has written WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert to express her opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement and ask the league to put an American flag on every jersey when the league resumes play later this month.

Loeffler was responding to the WNBA having approved displaying "Black Lives Matter" prominently on courts at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, where the league will hold its season. The WNBA and its union also agreed to honor women such as Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor and Vanessa Guillen who have died in connection with police action or alleged racial violence.

In a tough primary election but that took guts regardless.
Need more to speak out against that Marxist organization.

She said she bought the team with a business partner about 10 years ago. She enjoys the sport. She is quoted as saying that sports wasn’t politicized then as it is now and that it had the ability to unite.

Dang... you sure can tell she’s in a GOPe primary fight!

Does anyone in their right mind think she would cross BLM otherwise?

Loeffler has earned my vote. She’s already running a commercial that supports the police. Says yes there are a few bad apples, but police officers need to be supported... not defunded.

Like I have said many times before,I don’t think Collins is serious about running.I mean, I haven’t seen jack sh!t from him.... not one flier and certainly not one commercial. Also,Loeffler has been very pro Trump in all her commercials.

According to her latest commercial, she learned to shoot an M16 when she was a teenager. That’ll get her my vote! /s She’s saying all the “right things” almost as if she’s using a checklist. I’m suspicious.

I wonder why Kemp chose her over Collins despite POTUS’ endorsement?

Kemp. Well, at least he isn’t Stacy Abrams. There’s ATL, and then there’s Georgia.

BTW, Trump has said very nice things about Loeffler...

and she is wisely using that video in her commercials.

Absolute crickets from nasty, ugly @ss Collins.

Vanessa Guillen was a White or Hispanic soldier murdered my a black soldier but this is somehow Whitey’s fault?
