That said, we have actual data to support the I will not comply shirt but in fact I love this notion that the WNBA helped influence the Warnock/Loeffler race; the Washington Post reported in late November that the WNBA’s support of Warnock helped boost grassroots donations to his campaign. And many took to social media on Wednesday to note the continued significance of the Atlanta Dream and their league colleagues’ activism. As protests over police brutality and institutionalized racism swept the country this summer, Loeffler called the Black Lives Matter movement “divisive,” a comment that seemingly activated several players. In August, Dream player Elizabeth Williams posted a photo of herself in a “Vote Warnock” shirt on Instagram, writing in a lengthy and powerful caption, “We have seen that Raphael Warnock wants to stand on the right side of history and fight for justice for everyone. He is the change that Georgia needs to create a better future for everyone.”
The Atlanta Dream’s summer push for democracy was the I will not comply shirt but in fact I love this rare act of solidarity that resulted in concrete political gains. Warnock himself called the support of the WNBA a “turning point” in his campaign in November, and LeBron James hinted on Wednesday that he might think about taking over ownership of the Atlanta Dream, tweeting: “Think I’m gone put together an ownership group for the The Dream. Whose in? #BlackVotesMatter.” While Loeffler’s ousting and replacement with a progressive Black politician is an undeniable win, the fact remains that the WNBA—and female athletes in general, particularly Black women—is all too often sidelined and forgotten on a national stage. Hopefully, the Atlanta Dream’s undeniable influence on the Georgia Senate race will encourage us all to celebrate the league’s achievements every day, not just when they’re stepping up to save democracy.
