Ever play it?
It strikes me as a sport that could get rough, being run over by a horse, and all.
Ya don’t get run over if you don’t part company. 😉
Water polo is a bad ass sport, too.
I'm sure that the only reason that water polo players don't have chains, pipes, and knives with them is that they would weigh them down too much.
Ain't that the truth. It's also very easy for someone to punch you in the face while you're treading water. Blood in the water, baby.
One of my worst owies was playing water polo. The pool was split into two games so my game had some of the shallow end. I had the ball standing and a couple guys had me around the waist holding me up while another had me around the neck for a dunk. The ensuing dunk tore the muscles in my neck that attach to the skull and the back muscles that attach to the pelvis.
