Georgia senator Kelly Loeffler, a co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, wrote a letter to the league’s commissioner spelling out her concerns with the WNBA’s embrace of Black Lives Matter.
Loeffler labeled BLM a political movement that advocates for the defunding of police, the removal of Jesus from churches and the disruption of the nuclear family. She also alleged that BLM has promoted the violence and destruction that has swept this nation the past month.
We can nitpick the details but there is some merit to Loeffler’s concerns and allegations. Her letter to commissioner Cathy Engelbert is worthy of a thoughtful response.
Instead, the WNBA issued a terse statement stating its commitment to advocating for social justice and concluded by distancing the league from the U.S. senator.
“Sen. Kelly Loeffler has not served as a Governor (owner) of the Atlanta Dream since October 2019 and is no longer involved in the day-to-day business of the team.”
The WNBA Players Association was even less thoughtful, tweeting:
“E-N-O-U-G-H! O-U-T!”
Loeffler is a pariah now on the level of the NBA’s disgraced owner Donald Sterling. All because she has the audacity to question the agenda, goals, methods and results of Black Lives Matter. Loeffler’s crime is knowledge and information. She’s looked beyond the slogan, examined BLM’s stated agenda on its website and wondered if it’s wise for a wannabe mainstream sports league to embrace BLM.
She committed a thought crime. The mob now wants to cancel her.

We should stand up and show our support for both. They both have courage to stand up for real values that we all should preserve.
BTW, I AM going to use that “Bigoted Lynch Mob” from Whitlock from now on.
“Bigoted Lynch Mob”
This needs to go viral!
There are rumblings from some people seeing the damage all this BLM / cancel culture nonsense is causing. As long as politicians and corporate heads continue to prostrate themselves to these movements, it’s only going to get worse.
Keep your powder dry.
Yeah. Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.
Our corporation has bowed down to them with willingness to sacrifice our entire Corp. Culture.
We must now engage in discussions about race/racism and have bi-weekly lectures on “privilege”.
I’m so sick & tired of the brats in society trying to run things.

I’m close to retirement. If my employer tried to shove that sack of crap down my throat, I’d rebel in the only way available to me. My productivity would drop to the absolute minimum required to keep getting a check.
It don’t matter what the truth is Kelly, it is for the good of Da black foks
I don’t have that luxury unfortunately - be glad that you do.
This is happening almost everywhere. These A$$hat CEO’s are scared.
“Yeah. Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.”
Or, “Don’t shoot until you see the eyes of the whites”.
It is nothing more than just that: a racial totalitarian political action group,
that is founded on Marxist ideology for control.
Now look at their corporate funding sources to see the financial contributions.
The movement began based on a false declaration of :
"Hands up,..don't shoot ".
Indeed. Whitlock - who I honestly never cared much for prior to this week; he's had talking head assignments on both ESPN and FSN - had the temerity to point out that Patrick Mahomes getting a $500 million contract showed there is no systemic racism in the NFL, the case of Colin Kaepernick be damned.
BLM and their syncophants and enthusiastic supporters are not “bigots” ... by definition they are “racists” ... pure racists.
It has a “Ring.”
If they really cared about Black Lives,
they would have said "ALL Black Lives Matter", but they don't say it, or mean it.
They don't care about the 'Brothers' killing other Brothers in the inner city,
it's just another Marxist / Communist lie.
Burn, loot, murder.
A Marxist terrorist organization.
This is happening almost everywhere. These A$$hat CEO’s are scared.
The company lead government recommendations at the start of COVID, too. At the time, I thought they were really on the ball. Now, I think they were in on the planning.
Some one else pointed out (I saw it elsewhere, too) that BLM more commonly stands for (in the right sphere) -
Burn
Loot
Murder.
I like the Lynch Mob better.
