Citi & the Mets
<clip>
Just days after procuring a $326 billion bailout and $20 billion capital injection from the federal government, just a week after divulging its intention to lay off 52,000 workers, Citigroup is publicly confirming and remaining steadfast in its plan to pay $400 million for naming rights to the New York Mets' new baseball stadium.
Perhaps I'm biased because I'm a lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, but I sure as heck do not want my money spent on a giant sign at a Major League Baseball park, and if I were one of the 52,000 Citigroup employees facing a rougher 2009, I'd be absolutely livid.
