Hire her and others to help them make GENUINE change in their diversity.

I got to educate my teen granddaughters as to who she is… WHAT?????? They both play title 9 sports.
So glad to see her have an honored role today.

I saw Billie Jean along with Elton John when they did a Tennis Benefit here in Pittsburgh at The University of Pittsburgh's Petersen Event Center ('The Pete') a few years ago.

Agassi (I think), Martina, Elton, Billie Jean and a lot of celebrities I cannot remember participated.

Billie Jean and Elton played mixed doubles. It was so fun to watch.

Just yesterday I found my Virginia Slims necklace in a drawer. I worked an event the first year (1970) of the tour and the necklace was an appreciation gift.

I have always said that BJK actually did more to advance women's rights than any other person.

Nice to see BJK still kicking it and being the size comparison for us!

I think they and the Bengals get 35% of the total tickets. Players and sponsors get first picks and the remainder go to the teams' season tickets holders through a special lottery. I don't know how the remainder is split up between the NFL and other teams.

White GQP heads exploding with all the black superstars doing halftime. Think the NFL was poking Tuckums in the eyes. 😂😂😂😂
