Is Nothing Straight? - Report: Bobby Riggs-Billie Jean King battle of the sexes was fixed

3 Hustlers
Is there any reason why I should not HATE ALL PROFESSIONAL AND COLLEGE SPORTS?
Let's not even get into little league, soccer and other parent driven spectacles.
These events are are more than overrepresented with dope, dopes, politics and perverts. 
Why should I not be surprised that the fix was in for the biggest polyester event of the 1970s that featured the tennis hustler and a gender hustler. 
I was sick of King and Riggs long before their tennis match even started. m/r

Riggs threw legendary match
Updated Aug 25, 2013  - FoxSports.com
The outcome of a decades-old event frequently cited as a turning point for the women's rights movement has come under renewed scrutiny with a television report Sunday speculating that Bobby Riggs may have thrown a tennis match to pay off a debt to organized crime figures.
Riggs lost to women's liberation advocate Billie Jean King, then the world's second-ranked female player, in straight sets before more than 30,000 spectators at the Houston Astrodome and a national television audience on Sept. 23, 1973. 


On Sunday, ESPN's Outside The Lines  revived past speculation that Riggs, 55 years old at the time, lost intentionally four months after the formerly high-ranking pro routed world No. 1 women's player Margaret Court.
The TV magazine's story was based in large part on interviews with Hal Shaw, a former assistant golf pro at Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club in Tampa, Fla., who said he overheard a late-night conversation between four alleged mob figures. Shaw said he remained silent for nearly four decades out of fear for his safety.
Shaw, who said he was working late in the pro shop, claims he secretly listened in as club member Frank Ragano, Santo Trafficante Jr. and Carlos Marcello met with a fourth man he did not recognize. Trafficante and Marcello, now deceased, were reputed to be powerful mob figures in Florida and New Orleans, respectively. Ragano was an attorney who represented Trafficante.
Shaw, now 79, said the conversation in late 1972 or early 1973 centered upon an arrangement to be worked out with Riggs, who owed more than $100,000 from lost wagers on sporting events.
