\n The Mets never discussed following the lead of the NBA and six MLB teams and not playing Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Manager Luis Rojas said by the time word spread of others boycotting to draw attention to racial inequality and police brutality it was too close to Wednesday night\u2019s first pitch, and even Dom Smith, who took a knee during the national anthem as his own personal protest, admitted to not even thinking about it at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love baseball, so I love getting out there playing. That\u2019s my safe haven,\u201d said Smith, who has been outspoken about racism he\u2019s dealt with and gave an emotional Zoom press conference after the Mets\u2019 5-4 win. \u201cThat\u2019s where I just get my mind off all the stress that goes on in my life. So I didn\u2019t think too much into it. But that\u2019s something I did think of afterwards. In the moment, getting ready for the game<\/a>, that\u2019s all I wanted to do, was get ready to play a baseball game I love.\u201d <\/p>\n

When asked if the Mets may sit out a game, as the Reds-Brewers, Dodgers-Giants and Padres-Mariners did following three NBA playoff games not being played Wednesday, Michael Conforto said he had \u201cno idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I\u2019ll see [on Thursday], but that hasn\u2019t been brought up,\u201d Conforto said. <\/p>\n

The protests came after a black man, Jacob Blake, was shot multiple times in the back by Kenosha, Wis., police officers on Sunday night. <\/p>\n

Rojas and Conforto supported Smith\u2019s decision to kneel, but both said they didn\u2019t plan to kneel with him moving forward. Rojas expected the team to discuss the matter further. It didn\u2019t seem likely the Mets would be taking action like others have. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have a job to do,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI\u2019m here, I love baseball. If there\u2019s a game [on Thursday], I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be here.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
