Packers Leadership Speaks Out
Wisconsin woke up to a rare and powerful message from Green Bay Packers President & CEO Ed Policy, who addressed the viral controversy surrounding “
Brewers Karen” dominating national headlines.
In his statement, Policy 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 Wisconsin and the Green Bay Packers stand for.”
Policy confirmed that the Packers first revoked all Packers game tickets purchased or held by Kobylarczyk
and processed refunds according to terms and conditions, then imposed a lifetime ban from Lambeau Field and all Packers-related events.
“We do not tolerate hatred—not in Green Bay, not in Titletown, not under the American flag,” Policy declared.

His words immediately went viral, receiving widespread praise on social media and being shared by thousands of Packers 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. military 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
.

Green Bay Draws a Line
While the Brewers organization quickly condemned the behavior, the Green Bay Packers became one of the first NFL teams to publicly comment on the issue—and they did so with unmistakable force.
In a detailed statement released on Friday morning, Ed Policy connected the incident to the greater responsibility shared by all sports organizations:
“The values of sports—teamwork, respect, and unity—mean nothing if we remain silent in the face of hatred,” Policy said.
“Lambeau Field is sacred ground for millions of Americans. It’s a place where people of every color, language, and background stand side by side. That will never change.”
Policy’s remarks were widely understood as a direct rebuke not only of Kobylarczyk’s comments but also of the broader divisive atmosphere spreading across the country.
Fans and Players Respond
The reaction from Packers fans was immediate and emotional. On X, the hashtag #TitletownUnited began trending within hours of the announcement.
Fans flooded the team’s official posts with messages of support:
“This is why we love Green Bay—not just football, but family.”
“Lambeau stands for something bigger than wins. Thank you, Ed Policy.”
Packers players also chimed in.
Edge rusher Rashan Gary reposted the statement with a heart and flag emoji. Quarterback Jordan Love added:
“Respect—that’s the standard. Always has been.”
Even rival fans spoke up, with one
Chicago Bears supporter writing:
“I hate the Packers every Sunday, but today… I respect them.”
A Statement Bigger Than Football
Analysts note that the Packers’ resolute, value-driven response reflects the deep community identity of Titletown. In an era where sports are often divided by politics or race, Green Bay’s stance has become a model for American leadership in 2025.
Political commentators praised the message as “simple yet patriotic,” with CNN describing it as “a moral playbook other teams should follow.”
In closing his speech, Policy summed up the team’s stance with words that Lambeau may echo for years to come:
“The Packers don’t just play in America—we represent America. And in our house, hatred has no place.”
