We didn’t need another reason to love Jason Sudeikis, but we got one anyway! The Ted Lasso star wore this Jadon & Marcus & Bukayo sweatshirt to the season premiere of the beloved Apple TV+ series. The socially conscious crewneck highlighted the actor’s support for the real life English footballers who received massive online racial abuse after missing penalty kicks in last Sunday’s Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium in London.
In case you missed it, the players referred to on Sudeikis’s shirt are 21-year-old Jadon Sancho, 23-year-old Marcus Rashford, and 19-year-old Bakayo Saka–all men of color who play on the England national soccer team and who took part in the penalty shootout.
The deplorable abuse, which was sent via social media, made apparent the racial divides within the UK and was quickly condemned by England manger Gareth Southgate and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Sudeikis, who stars as the titular Ted Lasso, plays an American football coach who travels to England to helm the fictional AFC Richmond Premier League team. After earning a whopping 20 Emmy nominations, the second season will finally premiere on Apple TV+ Friday, July 23 with new episodes every Friday after that.
In the meantime, you can help follow Sudeikis’s lead and nab this more summer-friendly black tee for $19.79 right now. Because don’t we all secretly want to be Ted Lasso in the end?
