Why is squash considered a snobby sport?




Question by hardoon: Why is squash considered a snobby sport?
I?ve been playing squash since I was 11. It?s an extremely fast-paced sport requiring a lot of skill. What I?ve never understood is why squash is oten equated with snobbery in American popular culture. Frasier and his snooty brother played squash. Woody Allen?s Manhattan friends play. Michael Douglass played squash in Wall Street. In Fracture, the DA tells the main character that he won?t fit into the corporate law firm he?s joining because ?those guys play squash?. And whenever they actually show the characters playing, they look like they?re dressed for cricket and clearly have no technique whatsoever.

When you look at the top squash players in the world, they are just down to earth people from UK, Australia, Egypt, Malaysia and other commonwealth countries. For many years, the game was dominated by Pakistani players from extremely poor backgrounds. How then do Americans figure that it?s a rich person?s game?
