Almanzar is responsible for throwing a punch. The fans are responsible for whatever they did. Francisco is responsible for throwing the chair....

However, no one person is solely responsible for the entire incident BECAUSE the incident encompassed more than just a thrown chair.

ahh the incident...in its entirety...good clarification

Is Francisco responsible for Almanzar throwing a punch? No. Is Francisco responsible for the fans actions? No. Is Francisco responsible for throwing a chair? Yes.
|
is the security responsible in any way for Francisco throwing a chair? No. Are the A's responsible in any way for Francisco throwing a chair? No. Could the security and subsequently the A's done a better job? Yes. Seems like we are saying the same thing after all Murph.

Should the A's face some stiff penalties for not addressing the situation before it escalated? Of course. Yes, Francisco is responsible for throwing the chair, but that does not potentially lessen the responsibility of the A's. It is just as unacceptable to not address a situation involving the fans and players 'if' the Rangers did indeed complain about the fans before the main incident occurred.
