I remember it! And I recall Bobby Riggs' disdainful misogynistic conduct all the way there
-
I always thought that was at least partly a schtick to build up interest in the match, kinda like boxers do
-
Riggs was serious. He was a douche. He did a lot to try to divide the sexes. For real.
-
If he wasn't playing it up, he was indeed a douchebag of the highest order

Total publicity stunt. Riggs was an old man. Any fit young female tennis pro would have beat him.

Really? Then why did the #1 female player in Europe at the time (Margaret Court) lose to Riggs? I was there. It was no set-up.
-
Riggs may have thrown the match to pay gambling debts

I remember that... I was 10 years old. Even at 10 I knew he was a jackass
