WNBA players across the league are wearing "Vote Warnock" T-shirts to games this week in support of Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is one of the candidates running for the U.S. senate seat currently occupied by Atlanta Dream co-owner Kelly Loeffler.
Last month, Loeffler, a junior U.S. senator from Georgia, wrote a letter to WNBA commissioner Cathy Englebert opposing the league's choice to include Black Lives Matter in its social justice initiatives, calling it a "political movement."
Several WNBA players have since called for Sen. Loeffler's removal from the franchise following her comments, but Engelbert has said the league will not push Sen.
