After the election, New York Liberty guard Layshia Clarendon tweeted: "Winning has never felt as good as it does now."

"Winning is cool, but have you ever turned the Senate around ???

We are on the right side of history, "Seattle star Breanna Stewart wrote on Twitter.

Criticized the BLM movement

Kelly Loeffler was a Republican senator from Georgia who was voted out in Wednesday's election and replaced by Democrat Raphael Warnock.

With both Republican senators from Georgia, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, losing their seats, Joe Biden will have a golden opportunity to get his proposals through when he takes office on January 20.

Loeffler, who owns 49 percent of Atlanta Dream, did not like the fact that the female basketball stars this summer became involved in the Black Lives Matter movement.

She wrote to the league's commissioner to stop what she considered to be a politicization of sport.

T-shirts with messages

In response, WNBA players instead launched a campaign for Loeffler's opponents in the Georgia Senate election by wearing t-shirts with the text "Vote Warnock" in their spare time and during match warm-ups (vote for Warnock).

It seems to have yielded results in the poll at the end of July, writes The Guardian, Warnock was four with only nine percent support, while after the WNBA players showed their support he went up in the lead in October with 28 percent voter support.

And the week after the basketball stars started wearing their black and white t-shirts, Warnock raised nearly $ 240,000 and 4,000 new donors for his campaign.

Warnock is Georgia's first black senator and the first black democratic senator from a southern state ever.

James new owner?

Now Atlanta Dream can get a new owner.

Los Angeles Lakers and NBA superstar Lebron James, who has made himself known for his commitment to social injustice, hinted this week on Twitter that he wants to take over the team.

“I think I will put together an ownership group for The Dream.

Who's with me? ”James wrote.
