Atlanta Dream Graciously Asks Georgians to Vote Against Cartoon Villain (and Team Co-Owner) Kelly Loeffler

Elizabeth Williams, a forward for the Dream, told ESPN that after Loeffler’s letter players wanted to do something bigger than just complain about their owner. Williams said, “We wanted to make sure we could still keep the focus on our social justice movement, and funny enough, Rev. Warnock is somebody who supports everything that we support and just happens to be running in that seat.”

Williams also to ESPN that the idea initially came from Sue Bird, a member of the Seattle Storm. “I’m not some political strategist,” Bird told ESPN in regard to her political strategizing, “but what I do know is that voting is important. And I think our league has always encouraged people to use their voices and to get out and vote. So, what a great way for us to get the word out about this man, and hopefully put him in the Senate. And, if he’s in the Senate, you know who’s not. And I’ll just leave it at that.”

Loeffler who appears to never miss a game or an opportunity to complain about a team she could easily sell to someone else wrote her own protest on Twitter: “This is just more proof that the out of control cancel culture wants to shut out anyone who disagrees with them. It’s clear that the league is more concerned with playing politics than basketball.”

Loeffler seems to be unaware that what she calls cancel culture in this situation is actually called an election, a pillar of democracy in which more than one candidate is able to secure votes. It’s a wild and exciting process that she may have never heard of since she was appointed to her seat by Georgia governor Brian Kemp, to whom she gave $20 million for his re-election campaign. The more you know Kelly!
