I DO seem to remember Billie Jean King whipping Bobby Riggs' butt in a real tennis match.

Let's see...Riggs was at least 25 -30 yrs older than Billie Jean King. Also, he wasn't even hitting the ball hard, especially on his serve. I'm baffled how this event is brought up in the discussion. That was a show, not a sporting event....

I'd rather watch Supergirl. That's more realistic than a female MLB player.

He threw the match to pay off gambling debts.

A couple months earlier, he DESTROYED world #1, and all-time great, Margaret Court. Well over 50, never an elite player himself, and he beat #1. Badly.
