Even though he’s known for playing a fictional soccer coach, Jason Sudeikis celebrated alongside fans as Bay FC clinched a 1-0 win against Angel City FC in their inaugural game.
The star of Apple TV+’s acclaimed series Ted Lasso witnessed Bay FC’s historic victory on Sunday night in Los Angeles, embracing the fervor of the moment. Sudeikis, renowned for his portrayal of Ted Lasso, has recently emerged as a passionate supporter of women’s sports, making appearances at various events across the nation.
Sporting a WNBA hoodie at the Angel City-Bay FC match, Sudeikis demonstrated his allegiance to women’s teams, a trend evident in his attendance at New York Liberty WNBA games and college basketball matches. His advocacy for women’s sports extends beyond the screen, with nods to his hometown NWSL team, the Kansas City Current, featured in the final season of Ted Lasso.
While Sudeikis also frequents men’s sporting events, his consistent display of support for women’s athletics is unmistakable, often seen in his attire choices at diverse sporting occasions, from MLS matches to Dodgers baseball games.
Notably, Sudeikis’s unwavering enthusiasm for women’s sports transcends borders, as evidenced by his presence at an NFL game in London, accompanied by U.S. women’s soccer captain Lindsey Horan. His diverse sporting ventures reflect a genuine passion for athletic excellence and inclusivity.
Witnessing Asisat Oshoala’s 17th-minute goal secure victory for Bay FC, Sudeikis shared in the jubilation of their triumph. With upcoming fixtures against the Washington Spirit and the Houston Dash, Bay FC’s promising start heralds an exciting journey ahead.
As Bay FC prepares for their home debut on March 30, Sudeikis’s unwavering support underscores the power of sports to unite and inspire communities.
