re: Outside the Lines: Bobby Riggs fixed The Battle of the Sexes

I never thought of it as a thrown match, but it was obvious that Riggs wasn't trying as hard as BJK. He just wasnt taking it very seriously, like any of us wouldn't if playing against a girl. The fact that this is used as some women's movement landmark event is a joke in itself. Especially when he was like 50+ years old, and whe was not far from her prime.
