The Los Angeles Dodgers fan and war veteran who was racially abused by a Milwaukee Brewers ‘Karen’ has claimed she should not have lost her job for the sickening taunts.
In a viral video viewed over a million times across social media, the female Milwaukee supporter in question, who has been named online as Shannon Kobylarczyk, is captured threatening to call ICE on Ricardo Fosado – a US citizen and war veteran.
Fosado initially taunts the home fans sat around him while asking: ‘Why’s everybody so quiet? What is this?’
The ‘Karen’ then hits back by saying ‘Let’s call ICE,’ before Fosado urges her to do so and fumes: ‘I’m a US citizen, war veteran baby girl. Two wars. ICE can not do anything to me.’ She also tries to slap his phone away and calls him a ‘p***y’.
The Milwaukee Brewers ‘Karen’ and Dodgers fan she abused have both received stadium bans
Kobylarczyk has since been fired by her employers ManPowerGroup and resigned from her role on the board of directors at Make-A-Wish Wisconsin. But according to Fosado, that punishment is too far.
He told WDJT-TV in Milwaukee: ‘I don’t think that she should have got fired, it’s my opinion.
‘I think everybody deserves second chances. I think everybody makes mistakes. Nobody got hurt.’
Both Fosado and Kobylarczyk have since been banned from the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium.
