So what is the webcrawler’s connection to water polo? Video games.
In the 2018 computer-animated superhero film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, a fictitious water polo game is advertised in New York City’s Times Square – EA Sports Water Polo ’19. The player is unrecognizable, but the sport is still mentioned in the Academy Award winning film that grossed over $375 million worldwide.
