Why isn’t Sumo Wrestling an Olympic Sport?

Is it because Japan would dominate it? Surely it wouldn’t take long for an NFL offensive lineman to be ready to compete at a world class level right? You can’t tell me Quenton Nelson wouldn’t need more than a few pointers to be able to toss some sumo dudes out of the ring. Sure, they’d have to miss some training camp to go to the olympics but DK Metcalf was ready to for the 100m so the big boys would be able to as well. USA could take gold if they ever put sumo wrestling in the olympics!
