The St. Paul Saints baseball team mascot is a pig, and the team recently held a contest to name the newest addition, a baby pig. Past nicknames have been quirky, like Notorious P.I.G., but the latest proposal is over the top.
The weight loss drug Ozempic inspired the name OzemPig, and some people are outraged that the Saints chose a name that might imply fat shaming. But the team is sticking with the name because officials see it as funny.
I’m siding with the fans on this one. So, I compiled a list of ten names to consider.
Pig Diddy, Tu-Slop, Kevin Bacon, Bacon Pancakes, Bacon On A Sunday, Pork Floyd, Slop-N-Shop, John Ham Sandwich. Baby Back Harlow, McRib.
I hope the Saints’ management is open to a name change that’s less likely to hurt people’s feelings.
