Professional Sports Teams Wrongly Support Marxist BLM

In the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Greg Bluestein and Bria Felicien report on Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s objection to the WNBA’s plan to allow players to wear warmup jerseys with political messages on them. Loeffler is a partial owner of Atlanta’s WNBA team, Atlanta Dream. The AJC reports (abridged):

U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler objected to the WNBA’s plans to honor the Black Lives Matter movement, warning Tuesday that subscribing to a “particular political agenda undermines the potential of the sport and sends a message of exclusion.”

Loeffler, a Republican who co-owns Atlanta’s WNBA franchise, urged Commissioner Cathy Engelbert in a letter to scrap plans for players to wear warmup jerseys reading “Black Lives Matter” and “Say Her Name” and instead put an American flag on all uniforms and apparel.

“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,” said Loeffler, who faces a November special election against 20 other candidates.

“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,” said Loeffler, who faces a November special election against 20 other candidates.

“And now more than ever, we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports.”

She’s aligned herself closely with President Donald Trump and staked positions against abortion rights and as an outspoken critic of the Black Lives Matter protests demanding racial justice and equality.

The league announced Monday it would kick off the season in late July with a tournament in Florida “centered around the Black Lives Matter movement” and uniforms invoking the names of women such as Breonna Taylor, who was fatally shot by police in Kentucky in March.
