Tennis pioneer, women’s rights icon Billie Jean King sits down with News 12

LIKevinnewupdate922

Billie Jean King is a tennis pioneer and women's rights icon. Earlier this week, she brought her inspirational message to Ros and in a news 12 Long Island exclusive, she reminisced with our Kevin Maher about her most famous match. 50 years ago this week, Billie Jean King was the perfect person to chat with residents at the Atria Senior living community about staying active because at 79 years old, she has not slowed down. Well, first of all, my mother used to always tell me, Billy, keep moving or it's over. And this week the tennis icon and women's rights pioneer has been very busy celebrating the 50 th anniversary of her famous win over Bobby Riggs in what was known as the battle of the sexes. Did you feel it that it was a massive moment or when did that hit you? I knew it was a massive moment. When I decided to play the match. I knew we'd have probably the biggest audience I would ever play in front of 90,000 people watched worldwide because the match was about more than just tennis riggs. Spent months calling King and all women inferior and weak minded but Billy Jean beat him easily a landmark moment that made her an inspiration for women everywhere. They had self confidence for the first time and they had not had a good plan for their life. And after that match, they said it changed everything. They're going to go for it. They're going to get their education, they're going to become a lawyer. They going to do, they not dare to dream. They finally dared to dream and King believes her win didn't just change what women thought about themselves. It also changed how men thought about their women because that's what men have always said to me. You know, I, I have a daughter. I never thought about her the same way since that match. I want her to have equal opportunity with my son. I, I hadn't really thought about it though. King is now considered an equal rights icon for creating that change, but she says her work is not done. I've tried to think about how can we make the world go forward and help each other and be together in this whatever we do with our lives. And I want people at every age to be happy and fulfilled and it's hard. You got to work at it. Certainly not easy. And that's why Billy Jean is still going and her legacy is still growing. I love what I do and I think I'm going to keep doing it as long as I want to and can, because I think that's what keeps me young in Roslyn Kevin Marr. News. 12 Long Island.
