It’s safe to say that a lot of players around the WNBA are not fans of U.S. Senator and Atlanta Dream owner Kelly Loeffler.
In early July, Loeffler wrote a letter to the WNBA trying to convince the league to block players from sharing political messages on the back of their jerseys.
There were plenty of players who spoke up through the media and through Twitter about what Loeffler said in her letter. Many of them demanded that she sell her stake in the Dream.
Now, some of them are taking it a step further.
The Chicago Sky players dedicated their shirts today to urging people to vote. But they weren’t urging people, generally to vote — instead, they wore shirts that specifically said “vote Warnock.”
The Warnock on the shirt is talking about Raphael Warnock. He’s running for the U.S. Senate seat Kelly Loeffler currently occupies.
Fans absolutely loved this.
Talk about petty. You absolutely love to see it. Well played by the Sky.
