    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the decline of water polo's popularity due to ongoing violence and poor sportsmanship from the early 20th century. Topics include incidents of brutality and controversies at the 1932 and 1936 Olympic Games, the lack of effective rule changes by international bodies, and the rise of alternative water polo styles in South America during the same period.
