Montgomery, 34, recently made headlines for ousting former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler from her ownership stake in Montgomery’s former team, the Atlanta Dream. The news holds a particular irony because Loeffler refused to give Montgomery an audience last year when she requested a meeting to discuss social justice concerns.

When George Floyd died in police custody on Memorial Day in Minneapolis, Montgomery and her fellow WNBA players launched a social justice council and were very vocal in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. However, Loeffler was vocal in her opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement, much to the chagrin of the players who called for her to be removed.

It’s official! After BLACK ENTERPRISE reported back in January that the Atlanta Dream WNBA franchise was close to being sold and former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler will have no association with the team after the sale, the team is out of her hands!
The WNBA and NBA Boards of Governors have announced that they have unanimously approved the sale of the Atlanta Dream to Larry Gottesdiener, chairman of Northland, an industry-leading national real estate firm. The investor group for the Atlanta Dream franchise consists of Gottesdiener, Northland President and Chief Operating Officer Suzanne Abair, and former Dream basketball player Renee Montgomery.
