Having never watched a squash game, I am nevertheless going to argue in favour of doing so. (I've been meaning to go down and watch the squash all week — but I've not been able to get anywhere near downtown...)
Judging from what little squash I play, there is a LOT of strategy involved; where to place the ball is a very important question. (And of course, while you're deciding that, your opponent will be trying to figure out where you intend to place the ball, so that s/he will be in the best position to get it, so you have to figure out where your opponent thinks you'll place the ball, etc. etc. etc.)
In a high-power game (which, I guess, is how the professionals play it), each rally is like a series of soccer penalty kicks. ;)
(Oh, and booo! to Rogers [I'm guessing] for their shifty billing practices!)
