The first-place Mets have put a product on the field fans want to see. Now they’re cleaning up in-game entertainment so fans won’t want to leave.
The team is putting an end to a controversial kiss-cam feature, in which a pair of players on the opposing team would be shown on the Jumbotron to suggest they kiss — which often was met by laughs from the crowd, which in turn was met by calls of homophobia.
The joke, likely meant in jest, was blasted by many through social media until the team announced Wednesday the kiss-cam was not the hill it wanted to die on.
