Who is Shannon Kobylarczyk? Brewers fan loses both jobs, banned from stadium after threatening to 'call ICE' on Dodgers fan

Shannon Kobylarczyk, a former employee of the Manpower Group in Milwaukee and a board member for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, lost both positions following a viral incident at a Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers National League Championship Series clash at American Family Field on Tuesday night. A video circulated on social media showing Kobylarczyk in a heated confrontation with Ricardo Fosado, a Latino US citizen and war veteran, after he cheered for the Dodgers. In the recording, Kobylarczyk is heard telling Fosado, 'You know what, let's call ICE', escalating the situation.

The clip shows Kobylarczyk yelling at Fosado, "Real men drink beer, p***y," while the surrounding crowd remained silent. Fosado, recording the incident on his phone, later questioned why no one intervened or supported him during the confrontation. He explained that Kobylarczyk had also reported him to stadium security, resulting in his removal from the venue.



The incident occurred as the Brewers were struggling on the field, and Fosado noted his frustration when Jackson Churio hit a home run amid a sea of Brewers fans.

“I was like the only one wearing Dodgers gear, putting it in my face that Milwaukee scored. But as the game progressed, the atmosphere changed, it was a little more quiet,” Fosado said.

Fosado also expressed support for the Brewers fan, saying he felt sorry that she was judged harshly for a single mistake.

“I don’t think it was horrible or something that should get her fired. I feel bad for her,” Fosado said. “We cannot be judged on one mistake, and a lot of emotions were involved. It just hurts feelings, nobody physically hurts anybody.”

The video quickly went viral, prompting widespread criticism of Kobylarczyk’s behavior. Both Manpower Group and Make-A-Wish Wisconsin acted swiftly, removing her from her roles in response to the controversy. Kobylarczyk and Fosado have both been banned from American Family Field in Milwaukee.

Who is Shannon Kobylarczyk?

Kobylarczyk, a Milwaukee-based attorney who worked at ManpowerGroup and served on the Make-A-Wish Wisconsin board, was relatively unknown outside professional circles - until last week. During Game 2 of the NLCS on October 14 in Milwaukee, she became the focus of an online controversy. The game started as a typical postseason matchup, with the Brewers taking an early lead before the Dodgers rallied.

Amid the excitement, Ricardo Fosado, a Dodgers fan and US Navy veteran, began recording the crowd’s reaction following a Dodgers home run. The exchange escalated, leading to Fosado’s removal from the stadium after Kobylarczyk reported him to security.
