Hanshin Tigers President Ageshio to resign over team's coronavirus cluster

"I am responsible for all the confusion the team has caused since I took office."

THIS is how Japanese businesses typically react when the underlings do something to embarrass the business.

Right or wrong, this guy is putting his money where his mouth is and taking responsibility for his team.

Wish that others who are supposedly "in-charge" would do the same!"

It seems in this case Fujinami san should be bowing. The outbreak had little to do with the team President.

now you can add fall guy to his list of duties

In NPB, the team's President has very little sway into the success of the team. They are just moved there from another branch within the company and only there to do the paperwork and contracts.
