Okay, they shouldnt have boo'ed her. I even voted for her and I'm not a Political fan of hers, but I'd probably still have just clapped respectfully.
Secondly, how did Beasley intro her? Was it clear that it was for South Asian Heritage night (which I've never heard of before but thats irrelevant)?
I mean, how hilarious would it have been if Beasley intro'd her: "And your Mayor, Jyoti Gondek who is here to represent her heritage for South East Asian Heritage night!! So...fans...BE GOOD!!"
And I wonder why she got boo'ed. She might not be in favour with hockey fans? I know a lot of Calgarians don't like her as Mayor for a variety of reasons without mentioning the word 'Arena.'
I just find it strange. I'm not sure that I'd boo anyone at the intro of a hockey game. Certain players returning when the game is on? Sure. They've signed up for that, its part of the game.
Or maybe the world is just slowly sliding into Hell and we'd best just deal with it.
