The Macon Bacon have been asked to change their name.

This falls into the category of "Mind Your Own Business".

(Dear Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine - it's supposed to be fun, and it's also a slightly blue double entendré from way back in the day.)

If " The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which describes itself as an animal liberation research and advocacy organization.... " wasn't a red flag, the link going to CNN should have killed any home of a legitimate concern.

When will the Macon Bacon baseball team change its name?

When pigs fly, according to the central Georgia team’s response to a group of plant-based activists urging them to stop promoting a meat that studies have shown has health risks.

Good for them! Thank goodness the name wasn't "Macon Bacon with an Injun" or something.

a bunch of wankers!

If nobody ate bacon there would be no pigs.

Have you noticed that only religions that think martyrdom is a good idea prohibit bacon?

I’m convinced it’s the source of all happiness.

Find someone that eats bacon that wants to strap on a c4 vest to kill themselves and others because it’ll be better next go around. I’ll wait…

The analogy holds. Milkhemet Mitzvah? Anyone killed fighting is a martyr…

Ok - your counter will likely be the crusades - and that’s fair, but I still maintain people that eat bacon regularly are way happier than those that don’t, and they don’t want to off themselves for the promise of a do-over with a level-up…

I wasn’t focused on martyrdom. History is full of them.

It was your reference to the C4 vest.

If you go back and look at what I wrote, I asserted that all people that do eat bacon won’t be willing to make it so they can’t eat bacon.

I’m still good with that statement.

I read the title and thought "That's a good idea, changing the name from Macron, that little bastard in France, to something nicer. Maybe shoulder bacon, or crispy bacon. Yep, Crispy Bacon.

When I was a little boy I had a school holiday job working in a bacon factory feeding the pigs. If I fell over I'd have been their next meal. Next meal in .5 of a second. So I have no qualms about eating them instead.
