A potential deal comes on the same day Loeffler is finishing out her term as senator.
The Atlanta Dream, the WNBA team co-owned by outgoing Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler, is on the verge of being sold, the league confirmed to CBS News on Tuesday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported on the potential sale. “As it relates to the Atlanta Dream, we understand a sale of the franchise is close to being finalized,” a WNBA spokesperson told CBS News. “Once the sale negotiation is concluded, additional information will be provided.” News of a prospective deal comes on the same day Loeffler, a Republican, is finishing out her term as senator. The WNBA and the Dream made headlines with their league-wide support of Black Lives Matter during the summer with BLM warm-up outfits and jerseys.
