ソフィア・ブッシュさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ソフィア・ブッシュInstagram)「50 years ago today — on September 20, 1973 — @billiejeanking defeated Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, a tennis match watched by 90 million people worldwide. 90 MILLION. The match remains the most televised sporting event of all time. The impact of her victory not only permeated the sports world, but also advanced women’s rights and equality everywhere. Today, women tennis players are the highest paid of any sport. We just watched @cocogauff thank Billie Jean “for fighting for this” as she accepted her equal prize money at this year’s @usopen. Because the effect of Billie Jean's win continues to this day! As we watch women across sport — the US open and this year’s World Cup most recently — absolutely dominate the airwaves and draw more eyeballs despite being less invested in, we are reminded that the work is not done. And each of us working to advance women’s equity across industries knows we stand on Billie’s shoulders. Today, we celebrate her greatness. She won, we won. And she inspires us all, every day. My partner @nialauryn and I are particularly inspired — and still in awe — as we work with Billie Jean on advancing financial equity for women through the @firstwomensbank. By making tackling the gender gap in finance her legacy mission, she’s taken the fight from the court to the banks, and we have learned so much from her. Thank you, Billie Jean. 📷: @GettySport #BOTS50 #BattleOfTheSexes #BillieJeanKing #FirstWomensBank」9月21日 3時04分
