The problem with Porn Peddlers specifically is that clubs have safeguarding responsibilities towards our junior members. I hope(!) the PP's are all over 18 but our members aren't.
I haven't seen the names of these programmes but even if young club members just google PP's having ridden in the same race they'd probably find their Twitter account which is pretty NSFW.
(e.g. https://twitter.com/pornpedallers/status/1090749048032772096)
The practical problem as a club committee member with stuff like this is some parents wouldn't be bothered by that, some would. We have to cater for the most sensitive.

Regarding the Porn Peddlers: just consider the audience and reach of;
a cycling jersey used in a few weekday evening club TTs and cafe stops. The club name on a start sheet.
the twitter/media storm caused by policing morality(?) via cycling clubs affiliation in twothousandandfuckingnineteen!
Whether you object to the pornography industry, or consider this as a weird moral panic (more fitting of the 1980s), it’s counterproductive on any level for BC to object.
Perhaps BC should be a little more tolerant?
