In 1973, there was huge cultural event called, "The Battle of the Sexes." It was a tennis match between 55-year-old, Bobby Riggs, a former Wimbledon and U.S. champion, and 29-year-old, Billy Jean King, who had won multiple Grand Slam championships. Their match was in response to the woman's liberation movement and King's push for equal pay and respect for women's sports. Riggs said even though he was old and "washed," he could still beat King in her prime. He was wrong. King beat him in straight sets. Well, that "battle" pales in comparison to the battle of the sexes being played out in today's culture. Men and women, especially in the dating world, are at each other's throats. So, in this 3-part series of podcasts, Roy Biancalana, our host, tries to resolve the conflict by discussing the real meaning of masculine and feminine.

Episode: 3298 Gender, Color, and Dichotomy in Tennis. Today, we take sides in tennis.
Before AI, before social media, before the dot-com boom…there was Shawn Tully. Nearly 50 years later, there's still Shawn Tully — Fortune's Senior Editor-at-Large, still cranking out thought-provoking stories about the world's most powerful business leaders. On this episode of Press Profiles, Shawn reflects on five decades of reporting, from covering European business in Paris to flying on Donald Trump's private plane, to spending hours inside CEOs' offices chasing the perfect anecdote. He shares why storytelling matters as much as spreadsheets, how trust is built over decades, and why the best business journalism reads like narrative — not news copy. Along the way, we hear about tennis with Bobby Riggs, inventing the term "HENRYs," and what motivates him to "keep cranking" after all these years.

Long before the trans athletes in women's sport debate became as toxic as it has, there was a far more jovial contest over the sporting supremacy of the genders called The Battle of the Sexes, with female tennis superstars taking on men in big televised exhibitions. Margaret Court lost to Bobby Riggs in the first back in 1973. Riggs then sensationally lost to Billie Jean-King later that same year, with a TV audience of 50 million.Riggs was by that time 55 years old, 26 years older than King. And then the great Martina Navratilova lost to Jimmy Connors in 1992, putting the debate to bed for good... until now.

Broadcasting from Zion National Park, Matt Trump takes a cultural deep dive into the shifting dynamics between men and women. Using memes, history, and a dose of humor, he unpacks the growing sentiment among younger generations that pairing off, marriage, and family may no longer be the default path. Matt explores how dating apps, social conditioning, and post-COVID isolation have fueled disconnection, contrasting it with the optimism and expectations of past generations. He revisits iconic “battle of the sexes” moments like Bobby Riggs vs. Margaret Court and the legacy of The Handmaid's Tale, tying them to modern feminist narratives and the communist roots of cultural division. From Gloria Steinem's “fish needs a bicycle” mantra to today's Atlantic articles questioning marriage's value, Matt tracks how propaganda has reshaped expectations of men, women, and family. With sponsor shoutouts, sharp commentary, and reflections on propaganda's long game, this episode questions whether society can recover the balance between the sexes, or if we're watching a cultural unraveling in real time.

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.

On Wednesday's show: We discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup, this week with the help of Beth Simas and Jeronimo Cortina of the University of Houston. Also this hour: Fifty years ago today, tennis star Billie Jean King struck a blow for women's equality in sports, defeating her male counterpart, Bobby Riggs, in the so-called “Battle of the Sexes” at the Astrodome. Houston tennis great Zina Garrison reflects on the significance of the match, which will be commemorated at an event tonight at The MATCH. And The Catastrophic Theatre is restaging its 2013 production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot with the same cast from back then, including our own producer, Troy Schulze.

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. There is only one common denominator, John then talks about the dominant run of former heavyweight champion John L Sullivan before segueing that conversation into the greatest player to dominate each individual sport. You may be surprised with some of the answers. Finally, during today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about Bobby Riggs, and Billie Jean King, Billy Martin and complete games, Fay Vincent, and how bad of a commissioner Bud Selig was while also mentioning the likes of Paul Brown, Bill Giles, Don Haskins, and Gene Michael.
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
