U、 美国参议员凯利·洛弗勒（Kelly Loeffler）对全国女子篮球协会（WNBA）纪念黑人生命物质运动的计划有异议，他指出，签署一项特定的政治议程会削弱这项运动的潜力，并发出排斥的信息
Loeffler是一位共和党参议员，也是亚特兰大梦想的共同所有者，他敦促委员凯西·恩格尔伯特在所有WNBA的制服和服装上贴上一面美国国旗，而不是在同意这个季节之前提出的“黑人生命很重要”和“说出她的名字”的建议。
根据Greg Bluestein和Bria Felicien的《亚特兰大宪法杂志》：
事实上，我们在体育上需要的政治更少。凯利•洛弗勒（Kelly Loeffler）说，在政治两极分化和以往一样分裂的时代，体育有能力成为一剂统一的解毒剂，她将面临11月对另外20名候选人的特别选举。“现在我们比以往任何时候都更应该团结一致，实现将政治从体育运动中剔除的目标。”
洛弗勒与唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）政权关系密切，她面临着越来越大的压力，要求她出售自2011年以来共同持有的球队股份。她直言不讳地批评黑人生命问题运动，并称黑人武装抗议者为“暴民统治”

瑞妮·蒙哥马利，这个梦想的首发后卫，发誓要缺席2020年WNBA赛季，专注于社会公正改革。她对抗议者的视频做出了回应，这段视频很快就随着Loeffler的评论在网上疯传。

如果她以前不是一个，洛弗勒很快就成为了WNBA球员中的头号公敌，因为她的言论和观点对一个主要是非裔美国人的联盟来说，一直不太合拍。

Atlanta Dream owner Sen. Kelly Loeffler objects to Black Lives Matter message
原文：
U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler had issues with the WNBAâs plans to honor the Black Lives Matter movement, noting that subscribing to a âparticular political agenda undermines the potential of the sport and sends a message of exclusion.â
Loeffler, a Republican senator who is also the co-owner of the Atlanta Dream, urged commissioner Cathy Engelbert to place an American flag on all WNBA uniforms and apparel instead of the proposed messages of âBlack Lives Matterâ and âSay Her Nameâ that was prompted prior to agreeing to the season.
Per Greg Bluestein and Bria Felicien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
âThe truth is, we need less â not more politics in sports. In a time when polarizing politics is as divisive as ever, sports has the power to be a unifying antidote,â said Kelly Loeffler, who faces a November special election against 20 other candidates. âAnd now more than ever, we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports.”
Loeffler, who has aligned closely with the Donald Trump regime, has faced growing pressure to sell her stake in the team, which she’s co-owned since 2011. She’s been an outspoken critic of the Black Lives Matter movement and referred to Black armed protesters as “mob rule.”
Those comments incited WNBA stars Sue Bird, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Natasha Cloud to urge Engelbert to sanction Loeffler.

Renee Montgomery, a starting guard for the Dream, vowed to sit out the 2020 WNBA season to focus on social justice reform. She responded to the video of protesters, which soon went viral with Loefflerâs comments.

If she wasn’t one before, Loeffler has quickly made herself public enemy number one among WNBA players, as her comments and opinions have been in poor taste for a league that is primarily African American.
