Jason Sudeikis discusses wearing a sweatshirt supporting racially abused English soccer players

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert asked Sudeikis about the “Jadon & Marcus & Bukayo” sweatshirt he wore to the Ted Lasso premiere. “They’re the last three fellas, young fellas, that took the penalty kicks," Sudeikis said. "They didn't turn out the way that certainly England would have hoped, certainly a lot of us here in the states would have, too, and people worldwide, and they caught a lot of guff online. The three young Black men. And our show is rooted in both despising things like bullying and racism and whatnot. But it is also rooted and takes place in London and England. And so it was our way to use this big fancy premiere to spotlight them and let them know we got their back and how much we support them.”
