insane that “be a goldfish” became an iconic and beloved ted lasso thing like i have literally hated it since i watched the pilot like it’s introduced in the most awful context possible. and in some contexts it’s fine if it’s like talking about moving on from losing a game or whatever but my god they really just had ted tell a teenager experiencing racist and xenophobic harassment that the best thing to do is forget about it and get back up :)

#ted lasso king of bad advice when has he ever been right #also sam obisanya king of being treated like shit by the narrative since day 1. he deserved so much better #also just to get out ahead of ppl saying anything. obviously one of the people bullying sam is isaac but the xenophobia is still there #and larger racist connotations imo. like with jamie and colin and everything #ALSO i think it’s very likely that isaac was not originally written specifically as black #like considering the pilot would’ve been written before it was cast it’s v likely that a lot of the team didn’t have specified ethnicities #other than like sam for example where his being nigerian was directly relevant #and maybe colin being welsh is mentioned in the pilot?? i forget #but you know what i mean #ted lasso #ted lasso critical #r.txt
