Reminder:
I’m really liking the pictograms for this year’s Marble League. It’s something new they’re doing, and so far they’ve done a great job.

I'm a videogame developer. My latest personal project is Motorball Derby

it’s sponsorship:  they’ve got whole teams working on graphics etc.  Not just working out of a basement anymore.

Well, all three could be staged at private venues, just ask the respective PanAm federations to contribute to the cost of leasing the venues.

Yeah, yeah, there’s always a cover story.  

They are a bit unluckier.. People in Indonesia treat Czech Republic like Benedict Cumberbatch's surname, here are the variations:
 
Republik Ceko (official name in Indonesian)
 
Republik Ceska (from the Czech official name)
Republik Czech (when people are clueless with English)
Republik Cek ("Check" Republic - forced Indonesiazation (?) of the word "Czech)
Republik Cheko (add h because it is cool)
Republik Cekoslovakia (Cold War Nostalgia Syndrome/CWNS)
Republik Cekoslovenia (CWNS dumb version)
Republik Chechnya (uhh excuse me )

FPS games tend to have rather toxic communities. That’s what ended up turning me away from them in the end. 

I take that back. Clearly the most ridiculous thing in the film is UK hosting an edition.

FIBA did not comment on it, except saying it will give teams more opportunities, which ofc is not true lol

It’s the exact same in California. Everyone was careful from the beginning, but then summer came, and apparently we were all immune to Covid all of sudden, which I know isn’t true since our infection rate is rising again. I don’t get it honestly. People are so weak. I’m seriously disappointed in the Californians I love praising. 

Not sure if this was brought up anywhere, but the Women's world cup has been reduced to 12 teams moving forward.

Ugh. I need an “angry” reaction for that. 
 
That’s just unacceptable.

I'd say it's a solid 0 since he was banned from future TISC events due to his behaviour?

Today, Pakistan PM Imran Khan (who was captain of the victorious 1992 Cricket WC team) said that Osama Bin Laden was martyred. And he made this statement in Pakistan National Assembly. 
 

/  will host the 2023 women’s World Cup.

You mean this line?

As if English football needed more scandals...
 

The only thing that wasn't handled well is that the official could have did some more checking (which most likely would have led to the actual answer) and that Wallace could be a tiny bit fairer afterwards when it was clear it was a misunderstanding. That's not to say he's in the wrong, just that he could have handled it a bit better after the FBI's statement, but that's about it.
 
It was a fun race though, which in the end is the main thing

You are more than welcome to create those events if you want of course and for sure it sounds like a nice idea. But that would be separate from this TISC Special.
I think you are thinking more about the Totallympics Games that were initially planned and this TISC Special was supposed to be a part of that. However, that was cancelled and this now is a stand-alone TISC Special event.
 
So I was thinking about TISC tributes or anything related to Japan (it could be music, sport, culture, whatever) when I was asking for ideas.

We have fun around here 

Absolutely agree. Half the people there can't get any further than "Wallace can't even drive so he should shut up!" and "Yet another hoax! NWO!"

Not for the first, and surely not for the last time

Well, like every other sport in America, NASCAR had a historical problem with racism.  The fact that the only racist incident we can point to over the last few years turned out to be at worst a hoax & at best a misunderstanding suggests that NASCAR has, like everyone else, modernised
