were saying that the match was made up, so Billie could get back at Riggs because he made that now racist, homophobic Margaret Court cry because he whipped her so badly. I love Billie Jean King, and enjoyed her style of play.and the fact that she beat Bobby 
She said she was SO proud to be awarded her Medal of Freedom from Pres. Obama. I can Imagine Billie, a fighter for human rights all of her life
