NEW YORK — Billie Jean King is still globetrotting in support of more investment and equity in women’s sports. She attended the Women’s World Cup in Australia, kicked off the player draft for the new women’s professional hockey league in Toronto and is opening an office in London for a tennis business venture involving the international Billie Jean King Cup. That’s all in the last three months for King, who turns 80 in November. “We’re kind of at a tipping point,” King said.
