Why do they view as such? It's the sport most accessible for those not rich hence the saying it's a gentlemen's game played by mugs and vice versa for Rugby. |
It's because (prior to recent wave of Latin American immigration) mainly played by suburban white kids with rich parents. It's hard to get past that for the general population because it's a $1000+ fee to play the sport competitively. Compared to basketball and American football which school competitions are taken very seriously, you have to have money to get good competitive playing time.
