billie jean not me lover

For what she has done for society generally as well as tennis makes her a GOOD WOMAN in my eyes, abortion or not!

[golchhasanchit]

Well a geat legend yeah. What a great legend that she aborted a child , to keep up to that name and fame. She may be grt tennis player but no good woman, and that does not concern to her sexual orientation.

there was a grace and elegance to tennis back then, lacks today, very bombastic. Billie Jean King? True champion!

For all Billie Fans:

She has a new book coming out called "Pressure Is a Privilege" on August 12th about her life lessons and her match with Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes! Seems interesting. Just heard about it recently.

[redclam]

A true legend.

[Peteypooooo]

Would love to see more of that match! The only time she ever cried about playing a match

It may only be a few clips, but to me they are memories of what this extrodinary artist left on the tennis court. Before you think of Maria Sharapova, Mia Hamm, or even Chris Evert, think of Billie Jean King. She is the one responsible for all the fame and fortune these female athletes athletes have attributed over the last three decades. If not for her, forget it! Women wouldn't be as regarded today in the athletic arena in the same way the men are.
