Rejected petition Help make lacrosse, both men's and women's, an Olympic sport.

As a lacrosse player, having been involved in English lacrosse, I was disappointed to hear that the World Cup was not covered by any broadcaster. Lacrosse is a popular sport with both males and females and should be involved in the Olympic Games.
