Billie Jean King and her partner, Ilana Kloss, are<br />
part owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Angel<br />
City FC, and the Philadelphia Freedoms.<br />
"Our for-profit company, Billie Jean King<br />
Enterprises, and a nonprofit, the Billie Jean King<br />
Leadership Initiative, which does DEI work.<br />
I want more women in ownership positions in<br />
sports. Women are not taught to follow the money.<br />
I want us to follow the money, understand it, and<br />
learn from it.<br />
The challenge is that guys are always mentoring<br />
other guys. I used to see it all the time in the<br />
lounge or lunchroom, especially as an amateur:<br />
these former, now rich, male players talking to the<br />
young male players, making sure they got into<br />
schools of their choice or had jobs lined up for<br />
them when they stopped playing.<br />
So I’m asking men out there to at least think about<br />
mentoring women, including women of color and<br />
women with disabilities, just as much as you do<br />
with the guys."<br />
With that said, King told Harvard Business Review,<br />
"I am going to fight the good fight with my last<br />
breath."
