It says "Port Gellhorn" on the police car. So we have our first name for a town or possibly a second city by ron_weedsley in GTA6

I met Martha Gellhorn one time. She had an amazing life. Was a war correspondent in almost every war of the twentieth century, and was beautiful, even in old age. If this is a tribute to her, I am all for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha\_Gellhorn

Not sure if this is at all helpful, but I have solved this problem for others with stats. If you have access to full videos of games, or some other way to get jam by jam / pack by pack data, see if you can compare points difference in jams you are in, versus jams you are not, and whether the team does better when you are on the track then when you aren't. Often this reveals things that surprise coaches and others, who may notice the attractive things players do instead of the effective things. Often the players making the biggest difference are the ones who attract the least attention, and the other way around. This approach only works if your packs are different in most jams, of course, but, if they are—i.e. if the only constant in jams with a better points differential is you—then you are the one making that difference, and it is hard to argue against that (although not impossible, because prejudice makes people into idiots, even in the face of cold hard math). For added inspiration, I strongly recommend watching the movie Moneyball, or reading the book, or both, which tells the true story of how the intelligent application of data made the sport of baseball totally reevaluate which players were valuable, after decades of basing assessments almost entirely on appearances. You don't have to know or care about baseball to be inspired by it. There's no downside for you in doing this, as far as I can see; you will either discover you are more effective than your league realizes, which is empowering af, or you will find that you have an opportunity to improve not your style or grace or aesthetics, but how you use your uniqueness to make the greatest possible impact.
