Why did the founder of Judo, Dr. Jigoro Kano, not want Judo in the Olympics?

There is no evidence that Dr. Kano wanted his Judo as an Olympic event. Judo was entered into the Olympics after his death.|||the same reason that most traditional karateka don%26#039;t want karate in the Olympics, it ruins the art, it becomes a sport and loses its essence. somehow Judo managed to keep itself correct but he was frightened that it would become something that he would no longer recognize|||there%26#039;s also no evidence that he didn%26#039;t want it in the Olympics either dude, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence, (yes its from the boondocks, but it works well here)





they probably,actually, did it to honor him after death, or they could have just wanted it in there, heck he may have put it in his will which is why it wasn%26#039;t in the Olympics in his life.|||is there any evidence that he didnt want it in the olympics? maybe it wasnt offered at the time.
