By KJ Edelman
WNBA players have begun wearing shirts endorsing Rev. Raphael Warnock, a challenger to Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), to protest Loefflers involvement in the league and her comments against the Black Lives Matter movement.
Before playing the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday the team Loeffler is a co-owner of players on the Chicago Sky wore shirts that read Vote Warnock.
The WNBA has dedicated its 2020 season to social justice, launching a platform titled the Justice Movement, which will amplify the voices and leadership of WNBA players. Loeffler opposed the plans in a scathing letter, claiming they were too political and exclusionary. Instead, she suggested players, coaches, and fans wear jerseys with the American flag printed on them.
