The Organizing Committee of the Asian Winter Games in Kazahstan (which is a Joint stock company interestingly enough–is it supposed to make a profit?) has announced temporary new rules for spectators in stadiums during the Asian Winter Games.

I was amused by the fact that the rules are pretty reasonable. Be respectful of others, don’t interfere in play, no drinking or drugs. So why are they only temporary? What exactly has changed for the Winter Games? And why do we always put our best face on for international events and spectators but not for each other? Is the thought that we should be disrespectful to fellow Kazakhstani but nice only to foreigners? Sort of a strange mentality.
