LeBron James has tweeted about purchasing the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream franchise and Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony has expressed interest in joining him. The tweets appeared to be part of a casual exchange between the two future Hall-of-Famers, but the Dream have been embroiled in ownership controversy for months. The current owner, Kelly Loeffler was a candidate in Georgia’s recent senate race. Dream players publicly campaigned against her during the race, which she has since lost.
From the above article by Randi Richardson of NBC news:
Over the summer as sports teams and leagues protested racial injustice, the WNBA announced the formation of a social justice council to initiate conversations and action on inequality, implicit bias and systemic racism, according to the league’s website.
