Mets to no longer feature two opposing players on Kiss Cam

But the Mets also had a habit of showing opposing players on the kiss cam – their image framed inside of a heart – as a gag.

They will no longer put two players from opposing teams together on their kiss camera, according to a Huffington Post report.

“While meant to be lighthearted, we unintentionally offended some”.

One other faded feature I do believe had to do with complaints is how we never see the sumo wrestler promotion anymore where two people in blown up “fat suits” will bump into each other. The credit here goes to Bednarsh for getting pro sports team to stop doing something that was outdated and offensive.

He didn’t hear from the team, even as he kept tweeting at it each time he saw the stunt repeated in subsequent games.

Bednarsh, a diehard Mets fan, told HuffPost Live Thursday that he doesn’t remember the Mets featuring two players on the Kiss Cam until this season. “I want to keep coming to games”. Let’s use this as an opportunity, I’d say to the Mets.

“The most charitable thing to say is it’s a junior high gay joke”, Bednarsh said in a phone interview Wednesday. I think that’s a really important first step. In May, the Los Angeles Dodgers shown a same-sex duo revealing an actual smack, forcing cheering all through the arena.

Theyyyy’re out: In a breakdown of his kiss cam-related tweets this season, Bednarsh said the practice could be especially damaging in professional sports, an area where gay male athletes still remain closeted.

A few months after training with Bean, the Mets are reacting to calls of homophobia in a responsible manner. “I’m really thrilled that we’re at this place, regardless of how long it took, and I’m proud that the Mets made this commitment”.
