With the advent of Libby Lenton's 51.91 WR in the 100m free. I propose a swim off and battle of the sexes.
Paul "the evil" Smith (45) representing Bobby Riggs
vs.
Libby Lenton (20) as Billie Jean King.
My money rests on the female.

I know it is not PC, but let's get real. There are not enough women to make these sports as competitive as the men's version
WNBA? Boring and dull. I would much rather watch Ben Wallace block a shot for the Pistons.
LPGA? Yea right. There is the 1 teen phenom (the female version of Tiger) but honestly, it just is not the same as the fist punching Tiger.
Softball? It creeps me out watching.
Football? Ahhh, 'nuff said.
When the Olympics come around every 4 years, it is really exciting because we get to see elite women athletes in sporting events where it is better to watch women or doesn't matter. What we really need is for ABC to bring back Wide World of Sports. Then we would be able to follow the women athletes.
Bottom line - there is no money in women's athletics. It is sad but true. When's the last time you got to see Nebraska's Women's Volleyball Team. They are awesome and have dominated the sport for several years.
