Despite a near collapse that required $45 billion in federal taxpayer bailout funds, Bank of America sponsored a five day carnival-like affair just outside the Super Bowl stadium this past week as President Obama decried wasteful spending on Wall St.

The event — known as the NFL Experience — was 850,000 square feet of sports games and interactive entertainment attractions for football fans and was blanketed in Bank of America logos and marketing calls to sign up for football-themed banking products.

The bank staunchly defended its sponsorship, saying it was a "business proposition" and part of its "growth strategy."

  • i'm just saying most of the people complaining about the guys spending that money would probably do the same thing if presented with the opportunity.

  • envy? America is bankrupt and people are going to lose everything and you say envy? lol

  • *Claps slowly*

    Okay, and us in Europe will watch and giggle as you inherit a collapsing state. Also guess who is more likely to be able to apply for dual nationality with an EU member state and move over and hence contributing to a brain and asset drain on America by developed, non collapsing nation blocks?

  • I do agree that anybody would do the same thing.

    I once heard a quote;

    "Why does a dog lick his balls? Because he can."

    You have to admit it though, these guys have some serious balls to spend taxpayer money like that.

  • Starwar1970, come on. Can't we write a simple statement "correctly"? Maybe that's why your Boss acts like an asshole, because you write/communicate like shit. Get it together, will ya? Damnit!!

  • im black and pround to be. Blacks r the future of america, races r in competition since 4ever we have more babies thats all.

  • they are begging us for money... and right after that they blow it all off at parties...

  • quit whining people...All i read out of these comments is envy. Most of you would do the same if you could...

  • yes, whine and complain all you want, but no one will do anything about it. Maybe MM can storm the BofA corporate offices and shame some low-level executives? that'll solve it!
