A few random things popped up today so I thought I’d comment
Kiss-Cam. So I read the Mets have decided not to make homophobic jokes on the kiss-cam and that the organization aims to be inclusive. That’s great on both ends.
However it got me wondering if the Mets have ever put a same sex couple on the Kiss-Cam. Most people thought no, one person tweeted me they have. I don’t know the answer. Just wondering. Anyway, in the spirit of inclusion, they should.
Then someone asked me how the camera operator would know someone is part of a same sex couple. I don’t know. How do they know someone is part of an opposite sex couple.
The Kiss-Cam only exists to give the sales department something to sell. Nobody goes to the game for the Kiss-Cam. I don’t want to get rid of it, but I’d encourage the Mets to find a way to be inclusive, perhaps by setting up a spot where people interested in being on the Kiss-Cam could register. Seems solvable if the Mets are truly interested.
The 7 Line Army Pre-Sale. No good deed goes unpunished and my spidey-sense told me this would only result in unnecessary grief for Darren. Logically I get why tickets appeared to be gone one millisecond after 2pm, emotionally it was rather annoying. I was RIGHT IN, as were other people, but fund not even a single. Again, small amount of tickets, big number of codes (26,000 I think Darren said) and high demand. Don’t give the guy grief. The idea was cool….except for…..
Jerkyfaces scalping 7 Line Army tickets. Folks are showing that T7L tickets are going for three times face. Dude if you really need $200 that badly I feel for you. Totally uncool, and hopefully karma will be a bitch to you Mr. Scalper. This was not the intent of that section.
A few years back I witnessed Kiss-Cam pan to a woman & man intimating a possible kissing moment (both in their 20’s it appeared). The man waved his finger as to say they were not a couple but then he looked to his other side where another man was seated and then made the move to kiss him instead. The stadium was to witness a male-male kiss. But, Kiss-Cam then went black, it didn’t show the men kiss, or at least that’s what it appeared the men would do.
Similar experience to BKJerry. In 2005 I was at a Met game where the kiss cam pointed to a male and female, the female turned to her left and started kissing the female seated next to her. It was great and the crowd went nuts….
