LeBron James May Buy WNBA's Atlanta Dream from Outgoing Sen. Kelly Loeffler
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basketball superstar Le Bron James suggested he'll try to buy the WNBA
team Atlanta Dream from freshly defeated Kelly Loeffler Wednesday. James
tweeted, "Think I'm gone put together an ownership group for The Dream.
Whose in?" He added a photo of the team's players wearing "VOTE WARNOCK"
T-shirts. Atlanta Dream's players endorsed Senator-elect Raphael Warnock
in his race against their team's co-owner, Kelly Loeffler, who has
spoken out against the Black Lives Matter movement. Journalist Jemele
Hill credited the WNBA players for helping propel Warnock to victory.
