RE: Billie Jean King, Bobbie Riggs, “the dream will never die”, and a primer on the rose colored corneal implants worn by modern American Liberals.

Ms. Collins,

If, as you say, “the King-Riggs match was a central victory in the history of the American women’s movement”, what Olympian heights would you have had to climb to describe the achievement if Ms. King, having gotten to Riggs’s age when he played her,
had played the then current men’s champion, a man whose name I chose not to remember?

Why do men still play 5 sets while the chicks only play 3? What’s so “fair” about that?

Indeed, it would be a seminal moment if the separate gender winners at the U.S. Open were to play each other – 3 sets or 5? Toss a coin or let them arm wrestle – for their combined purses.

My enthusiasm for tennis ended when no one – opponent, judge, spectator – gave John McEnroe a Texas-sized ass whipping when he was having one of his hissy fits.

Would the male winner have to play with one snow shoe to make it “fair”? Speaking of “fairness”, by the time she got to be Riggs’s age she was hauling around a double-wide keister. [that’s a creepy assed cracker code word for a really, I mean a really, really big fat ass.] She and Oliver Hardy could exchange tennis shorts. Maybe the guy would have to wear the snowshoe backwards.

Double fault.

My serve.
