And Bobby Riggs intentionally lost to Billie Jean King.

And remember BJK was allowed to use the doubles sidelines, whereas Riggs wasn’t.

No one seems to remember that Riggs absolutely destroyed Margaret Court. Court was the number one player in the world at the time.

I have a book by Rod Laver in which he flat out says the match was rigged. No way a feminist like King would have played Riggs after what he did to Margaret unless she knew the match was rigged.

They’re just more equal than others.
