A sign of good things to come (no longer available)?
“Cheating matters. It isn’t OK to cork a bat. Cheaters shouldn’t prosper.”
Is this novel concept making its way into big business? The idealist in me wants to believe that companies such as Home Depot (no longer available) and Bank of America are choosing to make statements about Barry Bonds simply because it’s the right thing to do. The realist/cynic thinks that they wouldn’t say these things if they didn’t believe that at least a large part of the market would buy into the concept that cheating is wrong. Maybe UVa students will start to realize that honor includes self-policing.
