ORIGINAL: Lockit I wanted bobby to lose simply becasue he was an ass towards women... to the day he died he continued to not see the lesson he should have learned that day so long ago... that had some of us girls beeming. I didn't know as a girl all he was about... but later learned he was a rough talking, women degrading man who never changed. He was a rich, sad and angry man who wanted the world, especially women, under his thumb and wasn't past putting his money out there to obtain it. Which later made me even happier he lost that day. Too bad it didn't shut the fucker up though. You fell for it, completely. He wanted you to feel that way so he could make money off the hype. He was a supreme hustler. Everything I've ever heard from people who really knew him personally contradict your opinion completely. Billie Jean King beating Bobby Riggs shouldn't have been victory for women at all. She was one of the best women players in the prime of her career, and he was an old has-been who never could have one a single game against any professional male player. It was Riggs who hyped it up, and created the interest in a match that, for practical purposes, didn't prove anything. And people always forget that, prior to losing to King, Riggs thoroughly demolished Margaret Court, the #1-ranked woman tennis professional. That's the match that should be remembered.
