LeBron James says he wants to buy Loeffler’s WNBA team

NBA star LeBron James suggested that he is interested in buying Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R-Ga.) Professional women’s basketball team.

“I think I’m going to set up a group of owners of The Dream,” tweeted James on Tuesday. “From who?”

Loeffler, one of the wealthiest members of Congress, owns the Atlanta Dream, which she bought with co-owner Mary Brock in 2011.

Loeffler lost a tough run in the second round of the Senate to Democrat Raphael Warnock overnight. Several Atlanta Dream players criticized her for her policies and vocal support for President TrumpDonald TrumpWarnock defeats Loeffler in the second round of the Georgia Senate The Memorandum: Georgia voters strike a blow to Trump Eric Trump warns of primary challenges for Republicans who are not opposed to election results MORE.

In August, players wore T-shirts with the phrase “vote Warnock” on them.

“When we realized what our owner was doing and how she was kind of using the Black Lives Matter movement for her political gain, we felt that we didn’t want to feel lost like the pawns in this,” player Elizabeth Williams told The New York Times this summer. .

James has been a outspoken advocate of the Black Lives Matter movement, a champion of social justice that Loeffler, like Trump, has characterized as “Marxist” and anti-American.

“There is no room for racism in this country. We can’t allow that, ”said Loeffler in July. “But there is an organization, different from the saying, an organization called Black Lives Matter, founded on Marxist principles. Marxism supports socialism.”

The Los Angeles Lakers star, who is worth about $ 480 million, criticized Trump and asked fans to vote for Republicans in Congress.

Loeffler lost one of the two run-off elections to the Senate in his state on Tuesday.
