Once they played that match the whole world saw the injustice to the women and the whole league re-evaluated women's pay and purses. It led to the explosion of popularity of the women's game and the much larger prize money they deserved. Women's soccer is at the same stage in the world.

    You'll be left in the dust cave-man.
    Consider me unimpressed.

    Billie Jean was 29 and a multiple Major Champion of Women’s tennis at the time of the match.

    Bobbie Riggs was 55 at the time of the match.

    I would have been impressed if she defeated John Newcobe.

    Both relatively the same age with multiple major championships to their names.

    But beating a 55 year old, give me a break.

    Let’s flip the Billie Jean v. Bobbie Riggs scenario.

    Roger Federer is 37.

    Steffi Graf is 50.

    Federer destroys Graf in straight sets.

    For that matter, Serena is the same age as Federer and she would lose to him.

    Your Billie Jean vs. Riggs is a joke comparison.

      Why is it stupid to suggest ending gender discrimination in sports?

      That’s true equality.

      Everybody competing in the same competition with no restrictions and segregation of races, orientations and genders.

      Anything less is by definition, unequal and discriminatory.

      You seem to struggle with the definitions of segregation, discrimination and equality.

      One flag, one team.

      I mean, ESPN said that the USWNT was the greatest sports team EVER.

      Based on that logic from ESPN, the USWNT will easily defeat the current Men’s World Cup Champion in France, right?

        Are you being a troll or just plain ignorant? What part of "different but equal" don't you understand?

          Well, since Brown v Board, separate but equal is unconstitutional and violates the 14th Amendment of the is Unconstitutional. That’s the law of our country set upon legal Supreme Court ruling.

          Like you can’t have separate school’s, water fountains, restaurants, sitting areas on buses, etc... because you have a different skin color.

          That’s settled case law.

          Different but equal is an idea that has religious roots in 3 of the major religions of our world.

          That idea if enacted by ANY institution in our country would be argued that it’s unconstitutional based on separation of church and state.

          Different = separate.

          It’s only natural and progressive for gender based discrimination in ALL institutions to end as well.

          Or are you okay with separate, different, but equal schools for women, men, races and orientations?

            Now you have us going all over the place. Should our tax dollars being going towards private school vouchers or to give private schools money when private schools can discriminate on its membership? There are all boy and all girl private schools too.

              There is a chef for that and he might be a she but as long as the cooking is five stars we keep him or her around.

                It’s pretty simple.

                Accept 1 penny of federal money and you must abide by federal laws such as the federal civil rights laws for education and Title IX.

                The Department of Education can grant waivers to instructions, but there must be a valid reason as determined by the DOE.

                Non compliance means federal aid, loans and grant money for the university and students goes away.

                Because all student loans are now federalized, there’s really no escaping this.

                It’s how the Military/Naval Academies, VMI and the Citadel became integrated with different races and genders.

                The Citadel recently had to deal with compliance because of a transgendered cadet.

                It’s how colleges must now have gender neutral shower and restroom facilities.
