Former Georgia Senator and WNBA team owner Kelly Loeffler tells Fox News Digital what she hopes Caitlin Clark can to do rescue the league from itself.
EXCLUSIVE– A former WNBA owner who knows about controversy off the court said star Caitlin Clark could be a transcendent figure that brings the league away from divisive cultural debates and back to hoops. Former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who co-owned the Atlanta Dream from 2011 to 2021, told Fox News Digital the rookie sensation has been widely celebrated because 'she's 100% basketball.' 'She's not about politics,' Loeffler said.
The Dream's public spurning of its owner followed years of the league being better known for espousing progressive causes than any on-court achievements, all the while hemorrhaging money and enduring scorn for low player salaries and attendance. But now Clark, a player from the heartland who led the University of Iowa to consecutive national championship appearances and became the all-time leading scorer in Division I history, has brought unprecedented attention and ratings for the league.
