In a letter to Cathy Engelbert, the commissioner of the WNBA, Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), co-owner of the Atlanta Dream, stated that she opposes the Black Lives Matter movement and wants the league, which has approved featuring “Black Lives Matter” on the courts where the games are played and warm-up shirts for the players with “Black Lives Matter” on the front and “Say Her Name” on the back, to emblazon an American flag on the jersey of every player.

“Say Her Name” refers to Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor and Vanessa Guillen, among others, ESPN noted.
