Default Riggs Fixed Against King

Always seemed likely anyway. Tennis is the easiest sport to fix.

Of course Billie Jean wants to hear none of it. But of course.

Riggs certainly seemed like the type of guy who would do something like this.

Default Riggs Pigs

everyone forgets that if Riggs won, no one woulda got laid for a month. It was a must lose situation. Pretty sure he was informed that if he won that match, it would be the last one he ever played. Theres no way the women of this country were gonna have Bobby Riggs destroy all they had worked for in one night. Can you imagine the headlines. Old man beats young woman superstar at her own game. You women are pathetic and should get back to kitchen where you belong. How does it feel to have your hot shot get whipped by Bobby Riggs?
