Kelly Loeffler is a republican senator in Georgia and partial owner of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream. She has come under fire the last couple of days because she has taken a strong stance against the Black Lives Matter movement. In a letter to the WNBA, Loeffler pushed for the league to get rid of their plans to have Black Lives Matter warmups and instead replace them with the American flag.
In the letter she writes, "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."
She is up for reelection in November.
