Legal? Yes. Moral? Hmmm.
I'm no "Bostonian." (See above re California.)
Football & Baseball have been great for Boston.
Not Biz.
Bank of America buys Fleet ... promises no job cuts in Boston area. Ha! Cuts thousands.
Gillette sells out to P&G for no apparent reason. Well, one apparent reason: The "sell out" CEO will get $173 mil for dumping his perfectly fine company for no apparent reason.
MA's one bright spot is Biotech. Yet Gov Mitt Romney, with a wife who has MS but eyes on the White House, wants to curb stem cell research.
Lets give back the BBall & FBall titles in return for a touch of good BizWisdom!

Now that is a tough choice. This lifelong Boston sports fan is holding tight to those sports titles and awards. We did, after all, end the curse. Perhaps instead we could send the "sell out" and "buy out" CEOs to the other coast to get a dose of sports and business smarts from Arnie.
