Actor’s Choice Highlights Solidarity with Rashford, Saka, and Sancho Amid Racist Backlash
Jason Sudeikis recently shared the inspiration behind the now-famous jumper he wore, which supported English football players Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, and Jordan Sancho. His outfit, seen at the premiere of the second season of Ted Lasso on Apple TV+, featured the names “Jadon & Marcus & Bukayo,” symbolizing solidarity with the players who had faced racist attacks after missing penalty shots in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.
Reflecting on his decision in an interview with British Vogue, Sudeikis explained, “The idea struck me the day before our show’s premiere. I wanted to use this ‘big, fancy worldwide premiere’ as a platform to embody our show’s support for these three young men.”
Sudeikis’ gesture resonated widely on social media, with fans applauding his message of unity and support during a difficult time for the players.
