WNBA stars are openly endorsing Kelly Loeffler's opponent in her Georgia Senate race despite her ownership stake in one of the league's teams
Players across the WNBA have long been vocal opponents of Senator Kelly Loeffler, a Georgia Republican who also happens to co-own the league's Atlanta franchise.
But as the special election for Loeffler's appointed senatorial seat heats up, stars are using their platforms to explicitly rebel against the controversial politician.Prior to Tuesday night's matchup between the Phoenix Mercury and the Atlanta Dream, members of both teams expressed support for one of Loeffler's Democratic opponents — Reverend Raphael Warnock — by wearing T-shirts that read "Vote Warnock.
According to a representative for the Mercury, players on the Chicago Sky also donned the black and white shirts prior to their game against the Dallas Wings. Phoenix's social media channels were flooded with photos of players sporting the black and white shirt while heading into the arena and warming up for the game.Even the greatest player in league history — Diana Taurasi — suited up in "Vote Warnock" garb before tip-off.
