"We take great pride in the Macon Bacon naming rights (which our fans named), as we get to witness the smiles and laughter from our fan base – who have supported our branding since our inception -- that stems from the brand’s lighthearted and playful nature. We are a family-friendly organization and we are extremely grateful for our fans.

"With that, the Macon Bacon will be sizzling forever and will not consider a name change. Ever."

The Macon Bacon were founded in 2017 and play in the Coastal Plain League. The team name was picked by the fans and chosen over the Macon Soul, Macon Hits, Macon Heat and Macon Noise.

I am on a low carb diet in part because bacon is an important part of it.

I think the article is missing the point. The name is a play on words...

As I am sitting here eating bacon, the team name sounds fine.

They’ve moved from slaveowners and civil war generals to pig meat.

It always escalates. Do not think they will stop at the latest atrocity. Once they destroy their target they find another.

After condemning pig meat, will they burn books written by Francis Bacon?

Insanity propagates into the general population.

The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine is a bunch of leftist quacks. They're not about health, they're about social control.

Will they demand Kevin Bacon change his last name?

“Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine”

They are unhappy if anybody is happy somewhere in the world.

"Macon Bacon’s glorification of bacon, a processed meat that raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases, sends the wrong message to fans,"

LOL. This group has to be a parody.

From their website (https://www.pcrm.org/):
The Physicians Committee promotes plant-based diets for good health and disease prevention. Learn about how nutrition affects disease risk.
'Nuff said.

In the late 90’s they had a minor league professional ice hockey team
named the “Macon Whoopees”.

There is something delicious about glorifying bacon.

Bacon is *loaded* with the flavor umami, aka savory. Far more than most foods.

Vegetarians, in particular, lack savory in their diet, which is why bacon is the one thing that tempts them to break their diet.

Just say "HELL NO!" to such interest groups.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a non-profit animal liberation research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., which promotes a plant-based diet, preventive medicine, and alternatives to animal research, and encourages what it describes as "higher standards of ethics and effectiveness in research." Its tax filing shows its activities as "prevention of cruelty to animals."

And they were playing the Savannah Bananas. Silly names are a part of it and idiot vegans shouldn’t be so sensitive. Have a sense of humor for crying’ out loud.
