MILWAUKEE (KABC) – A Brewers fan lost her job after a video surfaced showing her threatening to call ICE on a Dodgers fan during Game 2 of the NLCS.
The incident occurred at American Family Field on Tuesday and was captured on video. It began when Dodgers fan Ricardo Fosado was trash-talking Brewers fans. “Why is everybody quiet?” Fosado is heard saying to Milwaukee fans as the Dodgers were leading the game.
The situation escalated when a woman nearby responded, saying, “You know what, let’s call ICE. Call ICE, call ICE. I’m a U.S. citizen, war veteran, baby girl. ICE is not going to do anything to me,” Fosado replied. The woman then appeared to swipe at Fosado’s phone.
The woman involved was identified as Shannon Kobylarczyk, who worked for Milwaukee-based staffing company ManpowerGroup. The company released a statement announcing she was “no longer with the organization.”
“As soon as we became aware of this video, the individual was placed on immediate leave and we began an investigation,” the statement read. “As a result of this process, the employee is no longer with the organization. We remain committed to maintaining a culture grounded in respect, integrity, and accountability.”
In addition to losing her job, Kobylarczyk also resigned from the board of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin.
Fosado expressed his opinion on the matter, telling WDJT-TV in Milwaukee, “I don’t think she should have got fired. It’s my opinion. I think everybody deserves second chances. I think everybody makes mistakes. Nobody got hurt besides the feelings and egos. I mean, we all live another day.”
Ultimately, both the woman and the Dodgers fan have been banned from the ballpark for future events.
