Just watched S2 E3 of Ted Lasso. Very disappointed. Another avenue for possible entertainment destroyed by leftist politics.
In short, they created a fictional environmental protest over a sponsor destroying the Nigerian environment, as a proxy for marxist racial protests taking place in sports today. They gave it full support, pushing the same preachy leftism that seems impossible to avoid anywhere now.
I’m done with the show.
I’m just flabbergasted why this continues to surprise conservatives. How many times does this have to happen to you before you learn? I’d ask who is Ted Lasso but, I won’t. Because I don’t GAS.
It’s because this show was different. It was was an optimistic representation of humanity, and the power of positive thinking. An oasis in a sea of BS in the entertainment world.
Now it’s just another in a long list of preachy, divisive, political indoctrination vectors.
I don’t know why you watched it to begin with.
I am streamed out, more or less.
I just ordered a kindle. Not a great Amazon fan, but I’m getting older and eyesight is an issue (was always far-sighted) so a kindle looks like a good option to read, increase font size etc. So I can read without glasses or a magnifying glass. I’m gonna start with a couple of Cormack McCarthy novels.
I’ve somehow been able to get through life without being aware of the opinions of Ted Lasso.
At the risk of sounding “out of touch”, who the heck is Ted Lasso? I’ve never heard of him nor his show.
never heard of him either...
Never heard of this dude.
It’s a fictional comedy show that streams on Apple TV+. An American college football coach that goes to the UK to coach a professional soccer team because the new owner via a divorce settlement wants to destroy the team.
Season 1 was a pleasure for me because it was so optimistic and completely avoided the political preachiness of most “entertainment” today. Tonight was episode 3 of the second season. They threw the good vibes in the trash and went political.

They all go Wokey McWokerson eventually, it seems.
Got it. You lost me at “Apple”. 😆
Sounds like it was a good show - for a while.
Most TV shows that last a while eventually have different (usually weaker) writers that eventually create some duds.
Since most professional script writers these days are Woke pervert creeps, it was just a matter of time...
Never heard of it. But I’m probably above average at throwing a lasso.
Its series on Apple TV. Season 1 was delightful. I haven’t seen the latest episode, so I won’t speculate whether the show has been “ruined”. I suspect and hope not.
Pissed me off too it was up until today a wonderful breath of fresh air
never heard of him
>> Another show bites the dust.
They hook ya, then piss in your face.
You might say that Lasso (who I never heard of), gave himself enough rope to hang himself and his show.
As Tom Hanks said in ‘A League of Their Own’, “There’s no politics in sports”. !!!
Lasso is an Apple production which has the promo appearance of looking lame. So neither have I bothered to watch. Apple produces many things we’re unlikely to watch. But...
You mentioned Hanks...
There’s a film on Apple titled Greyhound (or something similar) Excellent — about the merchant marines during WW2.
There’s a mini-series Mosquito Coast which is also worth watching.
Should anyone in your family circle have an Apple account, check out the above.
The film production is exceptional.
