My Friends Are Tired Of Hearing About Ted Lasso

JJ. Respond to all pronouns honestly. Gender ambiguous, 30s, multi-hobby and multi-medias. My Hero Academia, Ted Lasso, Leverage, and Good Omens are my favorites. But many more appeal.

So, I love Rebecca Welton. And I also love that we're giving her the 'oops internalized misogyny' storyline this season. Because it would be really easy to give it to, say, Roy or Beard or someone else male and steeped in football culture and that would make total sense. But I think that it's infinitely more interesting as something Rebecca has to face about herself.

Because two things are true: Rebecca made what is probably the smartest business decision for the club AND Coach Chilton is correct to call out the fact that she made it the way she did.

Women's football is notoriously underfunded, and they are facing an uphill climb for funding, viewership, etc (Higgins in the NLB museum learning about how there's never an audience until someone decides to build one and create the opportunity for people to show up). The Lady Greyhounds will need eyes on them, good PR, someone who can talk to press, someone Rebecca or Keeley can trot out to sponsors and charm them. Someone who already comes with the perception of success. These are all things that Ted is FANTASTIC at and that we as an audience can assume from Alice's interactions with other members of the Richmond head office, she isn't good at - yet. All of these things have nothing to do with on the field coaching, but everything to do with how the club is presented which is incredibly important.

It would've been a very logical business decision for Rebecca to say 'I have respect for your coaching abilities, but I need a head coach right now who fulfils other promotional duties to raise our profile for funding and is more approachable with people and the press'.

(We also know that Rebecca wanted her friend back, and while that also feels 'not fair' it's a common and understandable reason to hire. Like, I get it. Ted is honest to god her best friend and she wanted her friend back and found an opportunity for him to come back. Honestly, I'd do the same.)

IN THE SAME BREATH, Rebecca didn't express any of those business issues clearly, and to be honest, she may not have thought about it in those terms - because she wanted her friend back and her friend is just so naturally good at the things she believes the club needs right now.

And Coach Chilton? She is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in pointing out that Rebecca didn't even consider a woman for the head coaching position of the women's team, even if it wasn't her. It looks bad. It looks like women are I guess okay for players but the real decision making is for the men and that, although I don't know if Alice would put it this way, Rebecca isn't a girl's girl. Because Rebecca didn't consider how it would come off. Because Rebecca finds Alice off putting but Roy, who is similarly brusque, is just being Roy.

(I loved when Rebecca was recounting her conversation with Alice to Keeley and putting words and implied meaning in her mouth, and Higgins very clearly states 'she didn't say that'. Like, why aren't you giving Alice the benefit of the doubt like you would Roy or Beard etc? Because of her tone and that's uncomfortable coming from a woman? And I love that Higgins was very clearly that's not what she said so it's clear it's a purposeful story moment.)

The prevailing belief is that Alice is a bitch, but Roy is serious and a ‘lovable grump’.

I love that we get to see Rebecca answer some of those questions about her own assumptions about herself because we're all a work in progress. We all have blind spots. And we can all be better.

Lift your heads up and look around this locker room. Look at everybody else in here. And I want you to be grateful that you’re going through this sad moment with all these other folks. Because I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad, and that is being alone and being sad. Ain’t nobody in this room alone.

TED LASSO APPRECIATION WEEK DAY 3: FAVORITE QUOTE

Gonna miss @omegatartt when school starts back up again 🤣😭🫡

[dragon-in-a-fez]

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

The parallels between Ted going to his dad's workplace and having fun and being treated like a local celebrity meanwhile his dad was struggling with his mental health and keeping it from his family and Henry visiting Richmond and having fun and the team treating him like a celebrity meanwhile Ted is struggling with his mental health and keeping it from his family I'M GOING TO BE SICK

Claiming that fans would love clapping and dancing along with their favorite characters,Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis confirmed that the show’s fourth season, which begins Wednesday, would teach viewers about shapes and colors. “At this point in the story, Ted’s positive attitude and heart-warming antics have taught the audience that it’s important to be yourself, and now we’re building on that by introducing basic geometric shapes,” said Sudeikis, who explained that going in this direction “just felt natural” given the Apple TV series’ fan base.

Ted Lasso is back, and Ted is right where we left him — less than happy in Kansas City. The Wizard of Oz metaphor continues as Ted FINALLY decides he wants to be in Richmond. And you bet I caught every reference to Jamie Tartt. My review:
