One Group Is Forcing A Baseball Team To Change Its “Disgusting” Name

A Georgia summer collegiate baseball team, the Macon Bacon, faces pressure to change its name to appease non-meat eaters.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine advocates for a shift to something less offensive to vegans and vegetarians, citing health risks associated with processed meats.

Anna Herby, representing the group, urges the team to reconsider its promotion of meat consumption, emphasizing the link to cancer.

Despite this, fans remain attached to the bacon theme, evident in the team’s popularity since its establishment in 2018. The Physicians Committee proposes “Macon Facon Bacon” as an alternative, highlighting plant-based options.
