Milwaukee – A Milwaukee Brewers fan has been fired and faced significant backlash after a video went viral showing her threatening to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a Dodgers fan during a baseball game. The confrontation took place on October 14, 2025, at American Family Field during Game 2 of the National League Championship Series.
The individual at the center of the controversy, Shannon Kobylarczyk, was let go from her position at Manpower Group, a staffing company based in Milwaukee. The company confirmed on October 15 that Kobylarczyk is no longer an employee. Additionally, Kobylarczyk resigned from her position on the board of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin as a direct result of the incident.
The Dodgers fan involved in the altercation, Ricardo Fosado, recorded the exchange, which has since been viewed over 4 million times across social media platforms, igniting widespread public reaction. Fosado, who wore Dodgers gear, confronted nearby Brewers fans during the game when the Dodgers were leading 4-1 after Kike Hernandez hit a home run in the seventh inning. He asked the fans why they were so quiet, prompting Kobylarczyk’s response.
Kobylarczyk’s comment to “call ICE” escalated the situation, although Fosado clarified that he is a U.S. citizen and a veteran, insisting that ICE would not take action against him. The exchange turned confrontational when Kobylarczyk attempted to swipe at Fosado’s phone while he sarcastically encouraged her to call ICE. Following the incident, Kobylarczyk reported Fosado to stadium security, leading to his ejection from the game for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
The Milwaukee Police Department managed Fosado’s ejection but decided not to issue any citations. As a consequence of their actions during the game, both Kobylarczyk and Fosado have been banned from attending any future events at American Family Field.
In the aftermath of the incident, Fosado expressed empathy for Kobylarczyk, acknowledging her mistake but also stating that he believes everyone deserves a second chance. Despite the confrontation, Fosado recalled that the overall atmosphere at the game prior to the incident was welcoming.
This event brings into focus issues of behavior at sporting events and the heightened emotions that can occur when rival teams meet. The fallout for Kobylarczyk reflects the increasing intolerance for actions perceived as discriminatory or harmful, especially in public venues where a diverse range of fans come together. The incident at American Family Field highlights the importance of fostering inclusivity and respect among fans in the competitive atmosphere of professional sports.
