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.

      Yes, they like to pretend to be doing the right thing then go out and make other people miserable. Its that “church crowd” every server knows from restaurant work

      I have met some people like that before, they like to pretend to be good by doing charity, while actually leeching and stealing all they can from the people who they say they help.

      She worked at a law firm called ManpowerGroup. She was on the board of Make a Wish Wisconsin. She didn’t just work as Make a Wish. That seems even worse to me. She had a hand in steering the organization.

      Oh wow I haven’t seen that awful hairstyle in forever. People referred to it as the “c*nt cap”. Guess you really gotta love that look to still have it.

    She even has the stereotypical “karen hairstyle”.

    I don’t understand what drives people who are like that to get THAT specific hairstyle. Like it’s a sort of uniform or one of those brightly neon coloured poisonus frogs in the jungle warning to stay away.

    I mean hell my sister is also a “karen” and even she has the SAME style and has had it for years. I remember years ago when my Mom even wanted to get it and I had to tell her “Mom, you’re too nice, you can’t have that hairstyle”

    Didn’t click on this initially because I was sure it’d be someone getting fired for an anti-ICE comment. Nice to be pleasantly surprised.

    I’m skeptical of how they King Soloman’ed it by also ejecting the dude for swearing. What kind of bullshit is that. If anyone had a reason to swear at that game…

    Did I read that right?

    I don’t know anything about this lady but it sounds a lot like shittalk between rival fans. Don’t get me wrong, she’s basically saying “let’s call the SS”, and it’s not acceptable. I can just see a world where this lady forgot real life isn’t CoD and dropped the worst thing she could think of on him to wind him up.

    I have to say, I’m glad no one has had a camera out when I’ve been a dumbshit. I’ve said some really really dumb things and then had to go back and apologize once I thought about it for a bit. I’ve had my Karen moments, fortunately not many. I hope she learns and grows from this. People usually aren’t their worst moments

    Except for known racist Brock Turner. Brock “Allen” Turner, the rapist, should plant a tree every day to make up for the oxygen he wastes.

      You’re totally wrong. Trash taking is supposed to be fun or to further the team’s rivalry. This was a threat against someone because of their appearance, that they would be taken away and locked up or deported.

      I’m not saying that this woman can never in her life redeem herself or make amends, but you are making excuses for her and normalizing her behavior.

      Did you watch the video? She was coming from a hateful place. She didn’t get carried away trash talking a rival fan.
