Graham sits down with the iconic tennis star and advocate Billie Jean King. Winner of 12 Grand Slam singles titles, King is best remembered for her win against Bobby Riggs at their Battle of the Sexes match in 1973. In this 2014 interview, she reflects on that match and how it reinforced the recent passing of Title IX. The tennis hall of famer also remembers her historic “coming out” and the challenges that came with it in the early 1980's.
In this engaging episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into a fascinating mix of topics, blending personal anecdotes, cultural insights, and a shared love for learning. The hosts open the episode with an in-depth discussion of Jennifer Gerlach LCSW's Psychology Today article, “Is It Possible to Heal Trauma in Therapy?” They thoughtfully examine the article's key points, weaving in examples from their own lives to illustrate the practical applications of Gerlach's insights. This conversation also revisits Gerlach's earlier article, “What To Do When You Don't Feel Up To Anything,” which was featured in Episode 375. The duo reflects on the evolving nature of healing and the role therapy plays in navigating life's challenges. Professor Aubrey shares her experience attending a Sofi Tukker concert. Despite not being overly familiar with the music beforehand, she describes being swept up by the energy and vibrancy of the performance. Her vivid recounting captures the infectious joy of discovering new music in a live setting, leaving listeners curious about exploring Sofi Tukker's unique sound. Tim the Nerd takes the spotlight to discuss a compelling documentary about Billie Jean King that he watched on Max. Drawing from his prior knowledge and what he learned from the film, Tim the Nerd celebrates King's groundbreaking contributions to women's tennis and her influence on sports history. He highlights King's efforts to elevate women's tennis to a global stage, her role in World Team Tennis, and the inspiration behind Elton John's song “Philadelphia Freedom.” Tim also revisits the iconic “Battle of the Sexes” match between King and Bobby Riggs, discussing its cultural impact and King's enduring legacy as a champion for equality.

Billy Jean King ist eine wahre Ikone, und das nicht nur für den Damentennis. Sie ist eine Kämpferin für Equal Pay im Sport, für die Gleichberechtigung von Frauen und die Rechte queerer Menschen. Und wen es ein Wort gibt, mit dem man diese außergewöhnliche Sportlerin, diese wahrlich starke Frau, diesen inspirierenden Menschen beschreiben kann, dann "Kämpferin". Billie Jean King, geboren am 22. November 1943 als Billie Jean Moffitt in Long Beach, Kalifornien, wollte die Beste sein. In allem, aber vor allem im Sport. Sie probiert zunächst alle möglichen Ballsportarten aus und landet dann bei Tennis – weil ihr das am damenhaftesten erscheint. So waren eben die Zeiten. Billie Jean hatte noch nie einen Tennisschläger in der Hand, aber bereits mit 10 Jahren trat sie erfolgreich gegen die Älteren an. Sie kämpfte sich bis an die Weltspitze – stets begleitet von ihrem größten Fan, ihrem Ehemann Larry. Billie stellte jedoch fest, dass sie sich mehr zu Frauen hingezogen fühlte. Ein Versteckspiel begann, das jedoch bald entdeckt wurde. Das war alles noch bevor Billie Jean King in dem legendären "Battle of the Sexes" Match gegen den weit älteren Bobby Riggs antrat und ihn klar besiegte. Wie das alles kam, war vor und nach dem Outing von Billie Jean King passierte: Das und noch viel mehr erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge von STARKE FRAUEN. Und am Ende können wir sagen: Spiel, Satz und Sieg für eine der größten Sportlerinnen der letzten Jahrzehnte!

Episode: 3298 Gender, Color, and Dichotomy in Tennis. Today, we take sides in tennis.
Episode 11 - Murdock and Marvel: 1973 Its 1973, which was a tumultuous and eventful year for America. We left Vietnam without winning, VP Spiro Agnew resigned in disgrace and the US dollar was devalued, while momentous events such as Roe v Wade, Nixon visiting China and Billie Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs. By end of year Nixon has resigned and the US has begun to slip into its first recession since the post-War boom of the 40s. Lost in all of that were some pretty important moments for the comics world, including the Miller v California case, which would directly affect the comics world. Buckle up, folks, this year is a bumpy one. Preshow Duane recommends Fallout TV Show on Amazon Prime https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Season-1/dp/B0CN4HV16N The Year in Comics This was a crazy year for comics, with major changes in the economy, the law and society at large impacting the industry. The Big Stories Comic Fan Art Awards (formerly Goethe Awards) Shazam Winners The Year in Marvel New Titles (and lots of reprints) New Characters Big Moments Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Doug Moench The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #95-106, Avengers #111 Gerry Conway (writer) and Gene Colan start the year off in there usual roles with Roy Thomas editing, but that changes several times throughout this year. The year starts with the Man-Bull heading to San Francisco to exact revenge on Daredevil and create an army of serum created creatures from unsuspecting San Franciscans. Next we see the tragic tale of Mordacai Jones and he's transformation into Daredevil's newest foe – the Dark Messiah. He then frees some prisoners to create his disciples of Doom to go after Daredevil. Daredevil is able to defeat him by reminding him of the teenager he used to be. Hawkeye comes to San Francisco looking to rekindle a romance with Black Widow which causes a fight between Daredevil and Hawkeye before several other Avengers show up asking for Daredevil's help. In Avengers #111, Daredevil and Black Widow help take down Magneto and free the X-Men and Avengers he had taken control of. After helping the Avengers, Daredevil returns to San Francisco while Black Widow stays with the Avengers For Daredevil's big 100th issue, we get the psychedelic spectacular featuring another new villain – Angar the Screamer who can cause hallucinations by screaming. Daredevil is the only one that can remember the hallucinations after they've ended. Black Widow returns, but Angar causes DD and Widow to fight while he escapes. While looking for Angar the Screamer, Daredevil and Black Widow must take on Stilt-Man (again) to save the original creator of the suit tech (and his daughter) and before Stilt-Man can use his molecular condenser. Peter Parker comes to San Francisco to interview Daredevil but his web slinging skills are needed to help Daredevil and Black Widow take on Ramrod – a former oil rig worker who had his skeleton replaced with steel after an accident. He's after some papers Daredevil is holding but ends up falling from a tall building allowing him to be captured by police. Another issue, another new villain for the shadowy figure. This time it's Kraven the Hunter. Who gets the better of Black Widow and Murdock/Daredevil at a dinner party hosted by Matt's senior partner Kerwin Broderick. Kraven throws Daredevil off a cliff… But ends up in the secret layer of Moon Dragon who thinks Daredevil is a minion of Thanos but after probing his mind (and a gunshot wound) realizes that she's been manipulated by Kerwin Broderick for his own ends. The year ends in a cliffhanger as all of Broderick's villains – Dark Messiah, Angar the Screamer, Ramrod are causing chaos throughout San Francisco while his latest creation – Terrex is slowly making it's way towards the city where Kerwin intends to meld with the creature and become king of San Francisco and the world.

Let's get one thing out of the way, right off the bat: sports and “purpose” have always been intertwined. For all the moaning from the “shut up and dribble” crowd, athletes and sports have ALWAYS provided a platform to shine a light on the issues of the day. Think about it. Jesse Owens and the 1936 Olympics. Jackie Robinson joining the Dodgers. Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising their fists in Mexico City. Billie Jean King's match with Bobby Riggs. Yes, of course, these were sporting events. But in the end, they were So. Much More. And the images and memories of those events are indelible because of it. That intersection of sports and purpose is where this episode's guest Brianna Salvatore Dueck lives. As Head of Strategy for 17 Sport, she's helping brands and sports properties realize the true potential of their partnerships by ensuring that “purpose” is front and center. In this episode, Brianna and I talk about her work at 17 Sport, and the path she took to get there. We touch on what goes into crafting effective, purpose driven campaigns, why they're no longer a luxury, and even how they can be measured. The former D1 hoops player even shares her go to shot for beating her 6' 8” husband in HORSE.

NESTE EPISÓDIO - Justine Blainey levou sua vontade de jogar hockey com os garotos até a Suprema Corte. - Hockey segue sendo considerado o esporte nacional do Canadá e ainda é o mais popular do país, mas estudos mostram que ele já não é unanimidade e perde espaço cada vez mais rapidamente para basquete e futebol. - Hockey é um esporte bastante físico. - Fran Rider faz parte do Hall da Fama da Federação Internacional de Hockey no Gelo, é uma das fundadoras da Associação Feminina de Hockey de Ontario e foi abertamente contrária à tentativa de Blainey de jogar com os garotos. - No xadrez as mulheres podem receber títulos e competir em torneios exclusivamente femininos, mas também podem, caso desejado, ganhar títulos e competir em torneios "absolutos", ou seja, que incluem homens e mulheres. - As irmãs Polgar (Judit, Susan e Sofia) foram treinadas desde a infância por seu pai Lázlo Polgar. Judit Polgar se tornou na época a mais jovem jogadora a receber o título de Grande Mestre, aos 15 anos de idade, um mês mais cedo do que o lendário ex-campeão mundial Bobby Fischer. Em 2002, Judit alcançou o oitavo lugar no Mundial de Xadrez absoluto, ou seja, com homens e mulheres participando. - A "Batalha dos Sexos" (Battle of the Sexes) foi uma partida de tênis disputada em 1973 entre Billie Jean King e o então aposentado Bobby Riggs. A partida inspirou um filme em 2017 com Emma Stone, chamado igualmente "Battle of the Sexes". - As irmãs Venus e Serena Williams (que já ocuparam simultaneamente o número 1 e 2 no ranking de tênis feminino, e em momentos diferentes foram ambas número 1 tanto no tênis simples quanto em duplas) foram treinadas por seu pai, Richard Williams, desde os 4 anos e meio de idade. ...

9-7-2023 Passed Ball Show. John opens the show by explaining why Navy and Notre Dame will play each season until the end of time. He then spends some time talking about why there are good teams in bad teams and what the difference is.

No announcer ever proclaimed: "Up Rises Frazier!" "Havlicek commits the foul, trying to steal the ball!" or "The Giants Lose the Pennant, The Giants Lose The Pennant!" Such moments are indelibly etched upon the mind of every sports fan. Or rather, they would be, had they happened. Sports are notoriously games of inches, and when we conjure the thought of certain athletes - like Bill Buckner or Scott Norwood - we can't help but apply a mental tape measure to the highlight reels of our minds. Players, coaches, and of course fans, obsess on the play when they ask, "What if?" Upon Further Review: The Greatest What-Ifs in Sports History (Twelve, 2018) is the first book to answer that question. Upon Further Review is a book of counterfactual sporting scenarios. In its pages the reader will find expertly reported histories, where one small event is flipped on its head, and the resulting ripples are carefully documented, the likes of... What if the U.S. boycotted Hitler's Olympics? What if Bobby Riggs beat Billie Jean King? What if Bucky Dent popped out at the foot of the Green Monster? What if Drew Bledsoe never got hurt? Upon Further Review takes classic arguments conducted over pints in a pub and places them in the hands of dozens of writers, athletes, and historians.

In this episode, Emily Cissell takes you back to the 1970s for the Battle of the Sexes between tennis legends Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs to examine just how much a Billie Jean King loss would have set back the world and the fight for women's equality and respect!
Maxime Ruszniewski, ancien journaliste, a cofondé la Fondation des femmes. Il a travaillé aux côtés de Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, en tant que conseiller du Secrétariat d'État chargée de l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes et de la lutte contre les discriminations. Aujourd'hui, il est entrepreneur féministe, avec Remixt. Il a publié en février dernier "Petit manuel du féminisme au quotidien". Un livre accessible, à toutes et tous, avec beaucoup d'informations (passion stats !), et de vrais conseils utiles, des pistes concrètes pour abattre le patriarcat, et rassembler toutes les bonnes volontés. Pas pour aller chercher les adeptes du "Not all men", mais convaincre une majorité silencieuse, qui compte sans doute des alliés qui s'ignorent. Merci à Maxime pour son optimisme communicatif, sa bonne humeur, et son action militante au quotidien. Car comme il l'écrit dans son livre (p.70) : "Le féminisme ne se proclame pas, ne se revendique pas. (...) Le féminisme se vit, il s'éprouve. Seuls nos actes déterminent notre adhésion à ses principes et nullement ce que nous sommes biologiquement." Amis auditrices et auditeurs, cet épisode va vous redonner foi en l'humanité.

Like Bobby Riggs says in the Classic Odd Couple episode - no tricks, just psychological pressure. I'm trying to get the young kids involved in the podcast so I figure using Bobby Riggs is my way in. Anyhoo, this week: passover 2023; the high trip to Katz's deli (never good); the new weed shop in town and the seedy Chinese food and car wash place. That's hilarious -- you know -- like this episode.

On Tuesday's show: Hurricane Fiona has brought destructive flooding to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Space City Weather meteorologist Matt Lanza tells us more about the storm and explains why it's been a relatively quiet -- and hot -- hurricane season for us so far. And a federal court ruling is allowing a new Texas social media law to take effect. The law prevents social media companies from blocking posts on the basis of their political views. News 88.7's Andrew Schneider joins us to explain the law, the ruling, and the potential challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court that's likely to come. Also this hour: This is Banned Books Week, and, for the last year and a half, school boards across the country -- and especially in Texas -- have been bombarded with challenges to library books. High on the list are books that address racial history and LGBTQ topics. We revisit a conversation about whether this current period of politically charged debate over individual books is something different from the past. And we hear the perspective of a librarian. Then, 49 years ago today, the Battle of the Sexes tennis match took place at the Astrodome where Billie Jean King soundly defeated Bobby Riggs in three straight sets. It was a huge moment for women's equality, women in sport, and for tennis in general. Retired sports reporter Dan Lovett was in attendance that day and shares his memories of the match. Plus Houston tennis great Zina Garrison reflects on her career. And poet Julia Guez talks about her new collection, The Certain Body, much of which was inspired by her experience with COVID during the worst of the pandemic in New York City.
Billie Jean King's triumph against Bobby Riggs at their historic Battle of the Sexes match in 1973 not only elevated the 39-time Grand slam champ to icon status, but also reinforced the mission of the newly passed Title IX.
1. How Billie Jean could not live as her full authentic self until age 51. 2. The moment Billie Jean knew that Abby was not okay after her USWNT retirement. 3. How to visualize a reality that doesn't yet exist – so you can be it, even when you don't see it. 4. How Billie Jean numbed herself through an eating disorder and how she recovered by not being a “good girl.” 5. Why Billie Jean does not regret her pre-Roe abortion, and the degrading process she endured to access it. CW // eating disorders discussion About Billie Jean: Named one of the “100 Most Important Americans of the 20th Century” by Life magazine and a 2009 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Billie Jean King is the founder of the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, founder of the Women's Tennis Association and the Women's Sports Foundation and part of the ownership group of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Angel City FC and the Philadelphia Freedoms. King also serves on the board of the Women's Sports Foundation. In her legendary tennis career, King captured 39 Grand Slam singles, doubles and mixed doubles titles, including a record 20 Wimbledon championships. Her historic win over Bobby Riggs in the 1973 Battle of the Sexes, is one of the greatest moments in sports history. In 2017, Fox Searchlight released the critically acclaimed film, Battle of the Sexes, which depicts the cultural and social impact of the groundbreaking match. In September 2020, King became the first woman to have an annual global team sports event named in her honor when Fed Cup – the women's world cup of tennis – was rebranded as the Billie Jean King Cup. Her memoir, ALL IN: An Autobiography, is available now. TW: @BillieJeanKing IG: @billiejeanking Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where it is our regularly scheduled second drop on a back-to-back, belly-to-belly twin bill: a conversational profile about tennis legend and iconic activist/advocate Billie Jean King. Few, if any, athletes can boast the combined on- and off-court level of achievement that can King. An owner of the rare career singles' Grand Slam and 12 singles' Slams in total, a further 27 were won in combined women's and mixed doubles. In a pre-Evert/Navratilova landscape, King, along with Margaret Court, were the standard-bearers of the time. Perhaps King's most notable on-court accomplishment also created great waves off the court, as her dominant 1973 victory over veteran male Bobby Riggs in the greatly publicized “Battle of the Sexes” in the wake of Title IX brought women in sports to a level heretofore not realized. King's activism both within and outside tennis, founding the modern Women's Tennis Association, advocating both for tennis to appeal to a broader socioeconomic audience and for commensurate pay on the women's side, but also fighting the broader fight for societal gender equality and championing LBGTQ activism as the first openly out prominent female athlete in history, lay the groundwork for this profile. On-court bonafides and off-court altruism tell the broad strokes, but join us also for the details of the palimony case that led to King's coming out and perhaps the greatest spotlight shown on the Virginia Slims' brand since Fatboy Slim's “You've Come a Long Way Baby.” Billie Jean King is both a legend on the tennis court, and as a heavy puncher in the fight for gender and sexual equality. No more apropos a subject for a profile in this the season of women in sports, on the Bill Bradley Collective.
In the latest edition of Search for Meaning, Stephen Wise Temple Senior Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback hosts Ken Lindner, a super-agent and author.In this wide-ranging discussion, Lindner—author of the recently-released book "Aspire Higher"—delves into his childhood struggle with weight and self esteem. He and Rabbi Yoshi examine how that struggle shaped not only Lindner's amateur athletic career, but his ascendance as an agent to some of the top news personalities in the United States.Lindner details how his father's long work weeks led him to develop feelings of insecurity and un-love-ability, which in turn led to toxic emotions, binge eating and bad decisions. At the age of 4, Lindner was so frustrated with his father for his perceived lack of attention and approval that he threw a brick at him. "My aim was as bad as my judgement," says Lindner, who thankfully missed.The two reconciled and bonded over paddle tennis, which led to Lindner's emergence as a tennis phenom in Brooklyn, where he beat the famed Bobby Riggs. As his confidence grew, he developed discipline and cultivated an even-keeled disposition. He also fell in love with learning. He mastered his emotions, and as he read more broadly, began to examine how control of one's emotions or desires relates to what Judaism says about strength and power."I believe every day is a Rosh Hashanah or a Yom Kippur," he tells Rabbi Yoshi. "We should assimilate information every day—what we're doing right, what we're doing wrong, and how to be better."As Lindner's emotional intelligence and curiosity grew, he began to understand his father more: A Polish immigrant with only the barest of educations, he had lost his father at an early age and worked as he did so that his son could have the education he never did. Lindner discusses his father's role in the establishment of department store T.J. Maxx, and how that led him to a serendipitous encounter with Sam "Cookie" Weisbord, who persuaded him to work at the William Morris Agency, instead of at a law firm that had the agency as a client.From Bjorn Borg and Vitas Gerulaitis, Air Supply, and Kate Kapshaw, to Lester Holt, Mario Lopez, Colin Cowherd, and Megyn Kelly, to local talents Christine Devine, Dallas Raines, and Pat Harvey, Lindner and his team have worked with a laundry list of stars. He has espoused his positive life choice psychology both in "Aspire Higher" and "Career Choreography," which has its roots in his own experience.While not officially a client, he's even counseled Rabbi Yoshi. Over a lunch early in their relationship, he suggested to the then Head of School at Wise School that he should apply to be the Senior Rabbi at Stephen Wise Temple. Rabbi Yoshi will be celebrating seven years in that position this year, and he will be honored for his 10 years of service to the Wise community at the Wise Gala on May 7.

In 1973, New York Times reporter Grace Lichtenstein was approached to write a book about the fledgling women's professional tour. It turned out to be a pivotal season in the sport's history, and the book concludes with an in-person account of the famous Battle of the Sexes match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. The subtitle of the book is, "Behind the Scenes in Women's Pro Tennis," and Grace got to know the players--including Billie Jean--well enough to deliver exactly that. In our conversation, we talk about how the book came about, how it was received, and what press coverage was like for women's tennis in 1973. We also discuss how Billie Jean King has changed in the last half-century, the difficulty of covering tennis in such an intimate way today, and what it would take to write a behind-the-scenes look at a contemporary player such as Serena Williams.
We cover a lot of ground in this podcast episode with Hilary Marold, from the battle of the sexes with Bobby Riggs to being the first female network television commentator. We also cover how to improve your doubles game while playing singles.
Ao ver a jogadora Margaret Court perder num amistoso no tênis contra o ex-campeão de Wimbledon e do US Open, Bobby Riggs, então com 55 anos, Billie Jean King, uma das maiores tenistas de todos os tempos e ativista pelo direito das mulheres, decide desafiar Riggs para um amistoso que ficou conhecido na mídia como "Batalha dos Sexos". Se hoje em dia o machismo ainda ronda a sociedade, na década de 70 as coisas eram ainda piores. A partida ocorreu no dia 20 de setembro de 1973 e mais 90 milhões de pessoas assistiram Jean King derrotar por 3x0 o ex-campeão, fazendo a vitória no duelo ser também uma vitória para o ativismo das mulheres.

Guridy specializes in sport history, urban history, and the history of American social movements. His recent book, The Sports Revolution: How Texas Changed the Culture of American Athletics (University of Texas Press, 2021) explores how Texas-based sports entrepreneurs and athletes from marginalized backgrounds transformed American sporting culture during the 1960s and 1970s, the highpoint of the Black Freedom and Second-Wave feminist movements.
