Alright you fuckers. Give me one (one!) good reason why this fucking badass sport isn't in the olympics. IOC corruption doesn't count.

>horse dancing
>golf
>surfing
>rock climbing
>possibly video games
Fuck that noise. I'm literally never watching the olympics again if video games gets in before squash.

It's a disgrace that it's not in. Maybe because Americans don't play it?

It's actually kind of getting better here, t.b.h.
It's still mostly a "country club sport," which sucks, but it's getting a little bit more normal. The growth of afterschool squash programs in a bunch of cities has helped a lot. We still need public courts, though. I think accessibility would make a big difference.

>Why, then, has squash repeatedly been rejected by the IOC? Perhaps the best explanation is bad timing. Until 2005, the WSF did not make a bid for Olympic inclusion, considering itself unready to do so. In 2016, golf and rugby (in the form of sevens) both rejoined the games after long absences; the sports are far more lucrative than squash, boosting the commercial value of the Olympics. Squash’s bid for 2020 was also damaged by the fact that the event is taking place in Japan. New rules allow the hosts to propose additional sports: the change allowed karate to join the programme for the first time. These bids have also been stymied by a belief that the sport was not television-friendly, that the ball was hard to see and the courts difficult to film.

I fucking love squash but it's almost nonexistent outside of the Northeast or larger universities.

Shitty racketball is everywhere for some reason./

squash is so much fun but it really jacks up your knees.
