MILWAUKEE (WLUK) — A tense exchange between a Milwaukee Brewers fan and a LA Dodgers fan cost the Brewers fan her job.
Dodgers fan and Navy veteran Ricardo Fosado recorded a Brewers fan saying, “let’s call ICE,” during Tuesday’s Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at American Family Field.
After facing backlash, the woman, identified as Shannon Kobylarczyk, resigned from the Make-A-Wish Wisconsin board and was fired from her law firm, ManpowerGroup.
ManpowerGroup sent this message to WITI-TV in response:
As soon as we became aware of this video the individual was placed on immediate leave and we began an investigation. 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.
Fosado was ejected from the game in the seventh inning for swearing during the exchange and has asked the Brewers for a refund. The Brewers did not immediately respond to WITI’s requests for comment.
“Did I wish that on her? Probably not, you know, I don’t really care what happens to her. Whether she gets fired or not, that’s none of my business. But, there’s consequences for people’s actions, you know?” Fosado told WITI-TV.
The Dodgers won Game 2. Game 3 is set for Thursday at 5:08 p.m. in Los Angeles.
