Yup I watched it and so did my mom who was always dominated by my father who said “no wife of mine is going to get a job. “ My mom was so ecstatic that BJK won so handily. My father was probably at his shift job or we would not be watching this with my mom.

I was a 13 yo girl growing up in deep southern culture. I was vocal about rooting for Billie Jean. Everyone around me, including peers, told me she just was trying to be a man. 🙄

I remember watching this as a kid. I was rooting for Billie Jean King so hard! It was a step forward in feminism. Growing up as a girl during this era was wild.

I watched this as a kid. My mom was so happy she won. And Howard Cosell was a 🐷.
