Lacrosse is one of the oldest games in history. The sport was the training ground for centuries of warriors of the eastern Native American tribes of North America. The ancient Olympic games were born out of the training for war by the Greeks. Perhaps the question should be, why isn't Lacrosse in the Olympics?
Lacrosse was removed from the Olympics because not as many people were playing it as it the past. It may come back if the sport becomes more popular.

When was lacrosse taken out of the Olympic games?
Tennis was removed from the summer Olympics in 1924. The argument was that Tennis does not uphold the Olympic ideals. Having said this, it is also argued that Tennis does not rightly belong in the Olympics because the Tennis players who do qualify for the Olympics find other tournaments and Grand Slams more of a goal and gaining prize money then winning a gold medal in the Olympics. -Thomas Wren

Why is lacrosse not an Olympic Game?
Not enough countries play lacrosse nor are there enough governing federations associated with the International Lacrosse Federation for the International Olympic Committee to consider adding lacrosse to its list of sports. The popularity of lacrosse is growing ... at the start of 2010 there were 36 countries that were members of the Internation Lacrosse Federation. 40 countries are needed in an international federation before the International Olympic Committee will consider the sport for the Games. And after getting the 40 countries it is a minimun seven year wait before the sport will be added to the Games by the IOC. The IOC will probably add lacrosse to its list of sports in this decade and, possibly, add lacrosse to the Olympics in the 2020s.
