I've always thought that Billie Jean King was an accidental rebel. By that, I mean circumstances pushed her into pioneer roles as a spokesperson for women athletes and gays. King is not innately anti-authoritian. Quite the contrary. She has great respect for certain conservative values. She has never been comfortable saying controversial things. At times, she'll tell a journalist something, then get...

We're heading for Connecticut early Thursday, (look for a link to my Tennis Recruiting Network October Aces to autopost around noon) but we won't be seeing Virginia's Sanam Singh playing at the ITA Indoor. Singh qualified for the main draw of the $50,000 Challenger being played in Charlottesville this week, and he won his first round match yesterday, defeating sixth seed Grega Zemlja of Slovenia, who...

Barack Obama is just as much a woman-hater as the late conservative North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms in the wild eyes of radical abortion-mongering feminist and PBS "To the Contrary" host Bonnie Erbe . And just why is Ms. Erbe so steamed at President Obama? Because, and I kid you not, the commander-in-chief doesn't shoot hoops with women. Erbe -- who has still not gotten over Obama losing...

Bonnie Erbe writes: President Obama could invite Chamique Holdsclaw to the private White House basketball court and Billie Jean King to play tennis with him. I still wouldn't believe he's any more comfortable dealing with women or concerned about "women's" issues than the dearly departed former Sen. Jesse Helms. President Obama talks the talk a lot better and a lot louder than Helms. But...
