Players on the Chicago Sky, Phoenix Mercury and the Atlanta Dream sported 'Vote Warnock' T-shirts ahead of Tuesday night's games. Rev. Raphael Warnock is one of the Democrats challenging Loeffler for the Georgia Senate seat.
that the league's executive committee began exploring the shirt idea as a response to Loeffler's statements, because"for effective change to happen, there has to be policy changes. And so, if we're going to sit here and talk about wanting justice reform, part of that is making sure that we have officials in office that understand that."
Williams said the Dream and other players have made a coordinated effort not to discuss Loeffler or her statements in recent weeks, and instead focused on how they could best support a candidate they felt better represented their political views. "I think when all this stuff started happening with her, we didn't want to feel like we were pawns," Williams said."We can only control so much about what the league does [regarding Loeffler], and so for us, we wanted it to be bigger than that. ... We wanted to make sure we could still keep the focus on our social justice movement, and funny enough, Reverend Warnock is somebody who supports everything that we support and just happens to be running in that seat.
