PETA has apparently asked MLB to stop referring to "Bullpens", as Bullpens.
They suggest they now be called "Arm Barns"

LOL. The insanity will never end now that it’s been set in motion by all the SJW’s
I don’t even get mad anymore, I find it hilarious 😂😂😂
Yea, “Bull Durham Tobacco”, which was the source of the name, from an advertising sign, really is offensive.
But these people need attention, and this is how they attract it. If one of their ideas stick, they feel empowered.
You just can't make this stuff up. It's like we are living in a Twilight Zone episode!
i hope double d doesnt mind if I steal his line

I'm honored good sir.
Throwing hotdogs at peta protestors is some of the best fun money can buy.
Ounce by ounce the stack grows .
Don't say that....because..... I don't like it.
Animal cruelty is absolutely disgusting and worth fighting to prevent.
PETA should stick to that, it’s far more important than fighting to have “Bullpen” erased from history
(it’s outrageously funny though )
I cant even get mad at this point. I almost feel bad for those people.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Hello PETA - let me introduce you to Fauci - now leave us normal people alone!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
HOLY COW! But don’t tell them I said that.
Will they be offended if I say THAT'S BULLPOPTARTS
Edited to add.......(thank you @galaxy27 )
Perhaps they think it is a good idea not to keep a bull in a pen
Don't you keep animals in barns?
Are they calling the players animals?
Oh, that's right, we are taught that we are animals (my personal beliefs dispute this, but whatever). Either way. to call someone an animal used to be sometimes offensive (other times a compliment). Oh wait, it depends on context. That's right, it matters. There is also denotation and connotation.
Sweatshirts to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
If they find out, you'll be in the DOGhouse.
Udderly ridiculous

I find this saying sacrilegious and insulting to Hindus.

I see we are milking this for all it’s worth?
Well so would a bullpen, right? Because it has a bunch of arms too?
