Talk:Battle of the Sexes (tennis)

I presume that the "Budge" referred to in the Kramer quote is Don Budge, but since I'm not sure, I'm not adding a link. Would someone who does know please clarify? 141.158.49.55 (talk) 08:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bobby Riggs Time Cover.jpg

Image:Bobby Riggs Time Cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pleas fix this article

You have to kidding me if you think this was a real or legitimate game, Billie Jean King is feminist is now was then. Riggs decided to help the cause and they cooked up or rigged the whole thing. No one, I mean no one, thought this was a real game, just look at some of the flashy things Riggs did to promote and during the match. He was a good guy who decided to contribute to the popular feminist movement of the time.

P.S. Maybe you would be interested in signing the petition to "end women's suffrage" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPcthZL2RE

Anything else you'd like to add? Maybe something about Area 51, the faking of the moon landing or that car that runs on water that the government won't let anybody build? How about some prove to back up your statement?

So Bobby Riggs is a double agent? 76.27.232.185 (talk) 19:33, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Rules of the match

The section directly contradicts itself: "The rules were modified for the match so that Riggs had only one serve for King's two, and that King was allowed to hit into the doubles court area. The match was played under the normal rules of tennis."

I believe Ive read that the changes on the rules were an urban myth, and that normal rules were played. Either way, this section needs to be fixed.Sanctuary73 (talk) 11:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

SugarDaddy

I saw this match on TV as a kid. It was abig event. At the introductions, Riggs came up to the net and handed King a 4ft sized SugarDaddy candy. 216.153.214.89 (talk) 05:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Unclear

The text is written very unclear, it seems as in the first paragraph the text says that Riggs won the match even though he did not.
