    No, you cannot sue or counter-sue a fan who yells at you, even if they yell racial slurs. It would never make it to trial.

      I heard it was weight related.

          that wouldn't make sense, unless they called him fat while he was warming up and he just threw the chair during the fight because he was pissed off about the comments earlier. But, Francisco was in the dugout when the 'fight' started. He ran straight from the dugout to the bullpen, grabbed the chair and hurled it.

              I've been to a ton of A's games and the fans are very cool, now Raiders' fans are a whole nother story. I've been around bigger meatheads at Dodger and Giant games.

                  No I think they were getting on Brocail. I heard this on ESPN radio late last night.

                      Yeah Todd Wright on ESPN radio was talking about it with Steve Kline of the Cardinals. Apparently they were getting on Brocail and it wasn't anything overly offensive.

                              Francisco was wrong obviously. He should be suspended for a good while, and perhaps do a little time in the pokey.

                              But I have a HUGE problem with a fan going to a game, cussing and berating players, annoying everyone around them, then getting PAID A MILLION BUCKS for an incident that they caused.

                              If this boneheaded fan would have just gone to the game, had a beer and a dog, and cheered on his beloved A's, would this have happened?

                              Francisco was very wrong, but the fan is still a immature scumbag. He's the reason I feel uncomfortable taking my six-year-old to ball games.
