Great NY Times interview

recent issue of NY Times included a great interview of Jason Collins and Billie Jean King. Of course they were discussing their experiences as gay athletes, before and after going public, but there was more to the article. I thoroughly enjoyed it and got a sense of their personalities. BJK won 39 grand slam titles and retired at 40. A truly remarkable athlete.

King was fun to watch. The rigged, Riggs match was epic.

Bobby Riggs battle of the sexes? Why do you say it was rigged? I haven't heard that before. Common fact or your personal conjecture?

I believe that it was rigged after seeing that.

Greatly entertaining match either way. We forfeited our nightly poker game to watch, which trust me, was a big deal. We no doubt had a few bucks wagered of the outcome.

Only Tennis I really watched after that, men's or woman's was Martina Navratilova. Her play was electric and gripping.
