BREAKING NEWS: New England Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft Issues Strong Statement Following “Brewers Karen” Scandal

Patriots Leadership Speaks Out
The state of Massachusetts woke up to a rare and powerful message from New England Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft, who addressed the viral controversy surrounding “Brewers Karen” dominating national headlines.

In his statement, Kraft called the remarks of Shannon Kobylarczyk—the woman caught on video yelling “Call ICE!” at a U.S. veteran of Latin descent during the National League Championship Series—”Un-American, disrespectful, and completely contrary to what New England stands for.”

He further declared that Kobylarczyk is now permanently banned from Gillette Stadium and all Patriots-related events.

We do not tolerate hatred—not in Foxborough, not in Patriot Place, not under the American flag,” Kraft declared.

His words immediately went viral, receiving widespread praise on social media and being shared by thousands of Patriots fans, veterans, and even rival NFL communities.

The Incident Sparks a Firestorm
The controversy began during Game 2 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers at American Family Field. In a video that spread across every major platform, Shannon Kobylarczyk—quickly nicknamed “Brewers Karen” by internet users—yelled “Call ICE!” at Ricardo Fosado, a Dodgers fan of Latin descent and a U.S. veteran.

Fosado, visibly shocked, stood his ground, declaring that he had served in two wars and was a proud American citizen. The confrontation escalated when Kobylarczyk allegedly attempted to grab his phone, prompting security to intervene.

Both individuals were subsequently escorted out of the stadium, but public outrage overwhelmingly focused on Kobylarczyk’s behavior—seen as an example of the racism and xenophobia that still haunt parts of American sports culture.

Within 24 hours, her employer, ManpowerGroup, confirmed she had been fired, citing a “zero-tolerance policy for discriminatory or harassing behavior.” She also resigned from the Board of Directors of Make-a-Wish Wisconsin.
