No squash but possibly break dancing.

It baffles me that the IOC are considering making Break dancing, skate boarding, climbing and surfing Olympic sports but are excluding squash.
Looks like squash would even be behind darts, snooker and shove halfpenny. It’s a wonderful all the year round game that is played in the Commonwealth games and it more deserving of Olympic inclusion especially over subjectively judged activities like break dancing.

No one will be able to spin on their head for longer than I.

But look at those sports. They are sports for the young generation.
Squash was played in the 80's and early 90's by bank managers who wore tight shorts, drove Sierra Sapphire Ghia's and had affairs with young children.
Squash is no longer relevant.

It's fucking ridiculous squash isn't an olympic sport, especially when you consider some that are, and some that are being shoehorned in.
It's an exciting sport to watch, good for television, and the Olympics would be the pinnacle, which is what the IOC insist on.
Breakdancing? FFS. I can see why all those associated with squash have the right royal hump about this.

Squash is for knitted jumper over the shoulder wearing cunts from Surrey.

I think breakdancing looks fucking hard, you have to be very athletic to do it.
I have no problem with that at all.

All the criticisms of squash, could equally be applied to tennis, which is an Olympic sport.
Squash is a great game.

Squash is fucking hardcore- really exhausting. Really good for fitness and a lot of fun to play. It's a game loads more people should be getting into playing, and it's not that inaccessible to play.

Break dancing is a well known sport, most counties have a break dance league.
The mid sussex break dance league consists of 9 divisions with promotion and relegation plus cup competitions.
You lot are so behind the times.

Like watching break dancing, but it clearly isn't a sport.
And anyone who thinks squash was only played by people in the 80's is clearly a bit clueless and hasn't tried getting a court unless booked weeks in advance!

What a load of bollocks!!
Break dancing ain't a sport. Mind you they've got horse dancing in the Olympics so anything is possible.

Squash should be in the Olympics, However so should climbing. They way they have introduced climbing into the Olympics is a travesty.
They have taken 3 specialist events
Bouldering
Lead climbing
Speed climbing
And made the climber do all three events??
Its like saying in athletics you have to the 100m, a 400metre hurdles and a 10,000 metres to be a running champion a complete nonsense.
