this episode of ted lasso made me sososososo sad particularly in the press conference because yes he handled things well from an objective optics standpoint but everyone who has been in his mindset before knows how much it hurts to use yourself as a punching bag for comedy and have everyone nodding along and laughing
like yes the laughs and the positive press response are great. but having so little regard for yourself isn't
anyway they're doing a great job with his growing depression and the resulting crisis of faith and confidence, it's painful to watch. i badly want everyone to rally around him because he's done such a beautiful job fostering this community and he deserves support from it
