Everyone presenting ads, the players, performers, attendees and those watching. The participation was diverse and so was the presentation and content. It was globally diverse and inclusive. Not sure about equitable though. Plus the losers didn’t complain it was rigged.

The words in lights it started w/ a countdown says start here, warning wrong way, game over. He was standing in the middle of the divided flag. There was a part where the dancers all fell except for a few immediately surrounding his “inner circle” several dancers laid shaped like Yatzee symbols.
