On Sept. 23, 1970, Billie Jean King and eight other women’s professional tennis players joined with promoter Gladys Heldman to officially launch their own tour. Tired of unequal pay and unequal treatment from the sport’s male-dominated establishment, the players signed $1 contracts to compete in a series of events organized by Heldman. Their rebellion was brilliantly publicized with the now-famous photo of the Original 9 holding up $1 bills. It was taken exactly 50 years ag...o today in Houston, where the tour’s first tournament was played. Righteous (and correct) as it seems five decades later, this took a lot of guts. Tennis officials tried to intimidate the women and threatened to ban them from Grand Slam tournaments. Many fellow players were opposed to the breakaway and refused to support the new tour right away. So even though the nine renegades felt they had nothing to lose (tournaments back then paid women a fraction of the prize money offered to men), they were putting their careers and reputations on the line. All for the hope that one day (maybe not until after they were gone) things would get better. So on today’s 50-year anniversary, perhaps it’s more relevant to ask how tennis is doing on equal pay? The short answer is that it’s come a very long way. Below are photos of the Original 9 in 1970 (Houston Public Library/Houston Metropolitan Research Centre) and at a reunion in 2012 (Chris Smith/WTA).

I couldn’t resist posting this ball game...turtle versus dog
