1. More about the WNBA commitment to social justice.

This level of public protest — players on a team openly campaigning against their own owner — is virtually unheard of in professional sports. But it is not out of character for players in the W.N.B.A., a league that has frequently shown a willingness to tackle social justice issues publicly. In 2016, W.N.B.A. players were among the first professional athletes in the United States to demonstrate against police brutality, also with T-shirts. The W.N.B.A. initially fined those players before rescinding the fines.

Loeffler had demanded that the WNBA remove the Black Lives Matter signs from the basketball courts, and wanted all players to wear American flag patches on their uniforms. She is a Trumpster through and through, in addition to being the wealthiest member of congress.
