Coach Ted Lasso made a pitch at the White House on Monday that people shouldn’t be afraid to talk about their mental health with one another and that the negative stigma that clings to the topic “doesn’t have to be that way.”
Ted Lasso, of course, is Kansas City’s Jason Sudeikis, the star of the Emmy-winning show on AppleTV+, which began streaming its third season last week.
Lasso portrays an “aw shucks,” American-bred football coach leading a fictional British soccer team, AFC Richmond. Sudeikis is also executive producer and co-creator.
