SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A student’s demand to end the “kiss cam” at Syracuse football games has been granted, but not because people are tired of seeing PDA.

After the game between Syracuse University and Wake Forest, Steve Port wrote a letter to the editor of The Post-Standard, saying the seemingly light hearted fun moment during TV timeouts actually promotes a “rape culture.”

He writes:

During the kiss cam break at the Syracuse game last weekend I saw some horrifying behavior that was met with cheers and applause from the crowd. It made me sick to my stomach.

The first two people (and probably most people that wind up on the kiss cam) were happy to oblige the camera. However, the cameraman then scanned into the student section where a young man and a young woman were shown. Clearly not a couple, the male student pleaded his case for a kiss on the big screen while the female adamantly shook her head no. So what does this guy do? He grabs her head and shoves his tongue down her throat, the crowd cheers.

The next “couple” shown were again students that were clearly not a couple. Again, this second female in question shakes her head no. I then see no less than six sets of hands from the seats around her shove her unwilling face into his, crowd cheers.

This is completely unacceptable behavior by the male students, the surrounding students and the crowd. It makes me sick that in a day and age where sexual assault (particularly on college campuses) is so rampant that school officials would allow such a display to happen.

He says those moments constitute “male entitlement, at best. And they are an actual instance of assault, at worst.”

He ends, “Whether it was out of innocence or ignorance, it is still unacceptable to allow a student to be forcefully touched on a Jumbotron accompanied by cheers from the crowd. It’s disgusting.”

After the publication of his letter, the university sprung into action and pulled the plug on the kiss cam.

“We are taking the time to assess the concerns expressed in the letter to the editor. We discussed this with POMCO, the sponsor, and they supported that approach,” Sue Edson, executive senior associate athletics director for communications, tells the paper.

Edson offered no timeline as to when the university would render the final fate of the kiss cam.

The newspaper noted several commenters “questioned Port’s recollection of the events, noting that they were also at the game and did not see anything inappropriate.”
