More From Billie Jean King

I win, you win. you win, i win. the gun, i win. the fruit, you win. i win, you win.
Gun Winning Fruit
Sometimes when you win, you really lose. and sometimes when you lose, you really win. and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie. and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.
Winning Ties Needs
And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

Sports Growing Up Team
I can't imagine where i'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, i'm a little absent from that discussion, because i've never thought of gender as an issue. in sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. you all work together to reach a goal, and i think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.
Sports Team Opportunity
You can look at the emmys two ways in you're nominated. it's either win-win or lose-lose. if things go very well and i win, you still have to get up in front of a group of people and risk having god knows what come out of your mouth. if you won't win, you have to breathe deeply and smile and clap with a camera in your face.
Winning Two People

Some communities will be abandoned, others will struggle along, others will split, others will flourish, gain members, and be duplicated elsewhere. each community must win and hold the voluntary adherence of its members. no pattern is imposed on everyone, and the result will be one pattern if and only if everyone voluntarily chooses to live in accordance with that pattern of community.
