I was 9 years old when she and Riggs had their match. I thought he was a jerk (back then, the derogatory term in use was 'male chauvinist pig'), and I was elated that she won.
I salute the athletes who refuse to stay in their lane and exercise their 1st amendment right, especially when they have things to say worth hearing.
