During a recent National League Championship game, a fan confrontation took a serious turn. The incident occurred on Tuesday, when a woman among the Milwaukee Brewers supporters threatened to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, Ricardo Fosado. This exchange happened during a tense moment in the game, which saw the Dodgers taking a lead with a home run.
Key Events Unfolding at the Playoff Game
The Dodgers and the Brewers were facing off in a critical playoff matchup. In the top of the sixth inning, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy hit a solo home run, putting Los Angeles ahead 3-1. Following this, Fosado began taunting nearby Brewers fans, asking, “Why is everybody quiet?” This prompted a response from attorney Shannon Kobylarczyk, who threatened to call ICE on him.
Reaction from Fans
Fosado encouraged Kobylarczyk to proceed, asserting his identity as a U.S. citizen and war veteran. He stated, “ICE is not going to do anything to me. Good luck.” The situation escalated when Kobylarczyk used derogatory language, questioning Fosado’s masculinity, while he enjoyed a fruity alcoholic beverage.
- Fosado: Former Bellflower City Council candidate
- Kobylarczyk: Milwaukee attorney
- Game Result: Dodgers won 5-1
- Series Status: Dodgers lead 2-0
- Next Game: Scheduled for 3:08 p.m. Thursday at Dodger Stadium
Consequences of the Incident
This incident did not end well for Kobylarczyk. Reports confirmed that she lost her job at Manpower, as well as her position on the board of Wisconsin’s Make-A-Wish chapter. In contrast, Fosado faced repercussions as well, as he and a friend were ejected from the game shortly after the altercation.
In comments to local news outlet WISN 12, Fosado reflected on the encounter, stating, “This just shows the level where a person’s heart is and how she really feels as a human being.”
The exchange between fans illustrates the intensity of sports rivalries and the volatile mix of emotions that can surface during high-stakes games. With the playoffs ongoing, discussions surrounding fan conduct and respect continue to gain attention.
