A Milwaukee Brewers fan lost two jobs after social media footage showed her saying she was going to Call ICE on a Latino Dodgers fan during a playoff game.
A video of the encounter captured Shannon Kobylarczyk, sporting yellow and navy Brewers gear, at the playoffs game in Milwaukee Tuesday night yelling at a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, Ricardo Fosado, who filmed the incident. The Independent reached out to a number linked to Kobylarczyk for comment.
Kobylarczyk then looked at Fosado and yelled: Real men drink beer, p***y! She then tapped the man in front of her and said: You know what, lets call ICE. Fosado replied: Call ICE. Call ICE. Im a U.S. citizen, war veteran, baby girl. War veteran, two wars. ICE is not gonna do nothing to me. Good luck.
He is a U.S. citizen of Mexican heritage who served in the U.S. Navy from 2001 to 2005, he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Kobylarczyk later reported him to the stadiums security and he was escorted out of the building, he told the outlet.

She was fired from ManPowerGroup and also resigned from a board of directors role she held with Make-A-Wish Wisconsin.
What a maroon.

This whole idiotic "Let's get people fired" shit is part of the reason we're in this mess. Nothing drove mode3rates to MAGA like the self-satisfied doxxing of the last ten years.
Basta. It's enough.

(52,532 posts)I don't know what was the right response, but perhaps she could have been counseled and put on probation. Her behavior was abhorrent and I'm not making excuses for her, but I agree the whole firing people over things done and said outside of work has gotten out of hand these days. Meanwhile, the public humiliation should really leave a stain on her.

(1,029 posts)- within a week, they'll move on the next poutrage du jour and this whole thing will be forgotten about - instead the employers take the position "I can't put up with one single week of criticism" and do the nuclear option - termination.

(1,944 posts)She did not just all him a name, like dummy. What this wo.an did was racist and threatened the life of another. If she called ICE, he could have been detained, even disappeared. Some folks are living on the edge. This could have cost him his job, he may habe Bern transported to another country, he may habe lost enough job money that he could become homeless. Maybe he is the only bread winner in the family. Maybe his wife and kids end up on the street. This is how vindictive she was and she did not care! She saw the color of his skin and decided she would get in no trouble be size she was a veteran. She threatened a man! It does not seem o er the top for a non bracket employer to see her vindictiveness and think this is a shitty employee we do not want to represent our company? What she did cannot be overstated!
IbogaProject
(5,696 posts)They are within their rights to fire her. Yes political firings are a slippery slope, but she was fired for Racism. So even if the GOP is racist she wasn't fired for her politics alone.

(52,532 posts)without due deliberation isn't mature even if they reflect our own beliefs and ideals. The same kind of employers could just as easily give into MAGA pressure.
Personally, I think her behavior and attitude were outrageous and should be exposed, but not that she should necessarily be fired unless of course her work behavior warrants it.

(11,840 posts)The cancels that were toxic for us were more like the situations where you said something on Twitter 12 years ago at the age of 16 or something and you get zapped for that. Or you made an off color joke a long time ago and now youre cancelled
.or someone found a black face costume worn 35 years ago while drunk at some frat party.
This lady is different. Shes an in your face racist yesterday. She can go.

In my opinion, it won't be "enough" until people stop using their privilege to endanger others.
I don't agree with your "moderates were driven to MAGA by social media" theory.

(9,303 posts)because they cannot tolerate his or her attitude - and if iit is a "eight to work" state, that is their decision. Whether you or I agree with it or not.
If there's a union, or some legal protection, that's another matter.

(22,886 posts)Board-of-Directors probably fall into the "We need to distance ourself" category than J. Average Worker. Given the other job she was fired from was with an HR-ish company, ManPowerGroup, that finds and hires people for other companies. I can see the connection being more-than-problematic than if she worked for a lot of other fields. Based solely on her other job title, I hypothesize that she held a higher position at ManPowerGroup, too; that part is speculation.
In these cases, the jobs were crossfire-bullseyes in terms of bad publicity for everyone associated.
I get where you are coming from, at least in part. I don't think doxing is an inherently liberal concept or activity. Neither is being an idiot in public to the degree that it requires callout an inherently conservative concept or activity. I don't really see how it loses us votes or gains MAGA any. It's a factor of what society has become with the technology we have achieved. It's not anything new, it's just that everyone has a video recorder in their pocket and the possibility of a world-wide audience.
It does go to far, at times, I agree. It reminds me a bit of the Orville Episode Social Correction. But it isn't a Right/Left thing. I don't know what the answer is to temper it.

(6,512 posts)These days, I seem to stumble over three or four every week (and that's not taking The Internet into account) who are simply mean-spirited, and want to intimidate or bully (physically, verbally, or even mentally) others for simple entertainment (or self-validation?). I don't think I'll ever really understand that desire... and to be honest, I don't want to.

But when. you hear their fans say Dodgers, it comes out as Doijers. That's how I hear it.

(19,274 posts)One of the station attendants in a little golf cart came up and asked her, "Are you lost or something?" I had to explain that, wearing the Giants cap was normal in our San Francisco home town, but it made her a target when in an iconic Los Angeles location and surrounded by crowds of Dodgers fans on their way to a game.

(3,036 posts)Keep in mind it seems he initiated this encounter by being a douchebag. You're a guest in someone's home, act accordingly. If you're going to dish it out, you need to take it. Would have I crossed that line by using her comments? No. If this woman deserved to lose her job, that's a separate conversation.
I was at Game 1 and had three Ohtani fans to my left. Very polite and respectful. They didn't give crap to anybody and no one gave crap to them. As the game was finishing up, I told them "It's OK to get excited!"
Why can't more people be like this?

(5,696 posts)By the way, Maroon has racist usage. It started refering to their color which is the old meaning. Then it reffered specifically to isolated communities of escaped slaves and cast aways. Moron is a better word for that detestable individual.
