The reality is there are some terrifically rich people who play squash, and their high salaries and net worth skew these averages upward. The sport of squash is also very much an urban sport -- it is the GREATEST GAME for an urban environment -- and the truth is that people tend to make more money in cities, because it is more expensive in general to live in them. One more thing: this study was taken back in the halcyon days of 2006, when money flowed like wine from Bacchus' goblet.... Times have changed, and I would imagine these averages have dropped a bit. <br /><br />The downside is I don't want the impression of the sport to be just a bunch of coddled, white, ivy-league prepsters -- there certainly is some of that (I know, I am one of them myself!) but the sport is much bigger than that now. I only wrote this blog to point out that the dearth of marketing interest in squash is, as ever, a mistake!The Squashisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924299528289973751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315253560915043425.post-70463848367489353262010-01-17T09:18:33.763-05:002010-01-17T09:18:33.763-05:00Great post.
