Jason Sudeikis Fought Trolls With Kindness After ‘Ted Lasso’ Was Snubbed By The Emmys

Despite several nominations, Ted Lasso did score a win at Monday night’s Emmy Awards, which brought out some mean-spirited trolls who apparently relished in watching the feel-good show go home empty-handed. However, if the haters thought their heckling would get under Jason Sudeikis‘ skin, they were sorely mistaken.

The Ted Lasso star and creator is active on Twitter to the point where he definitely saw some of the smug tweets relishing the Apple TV+ show being snubbed. However, instead of responding, Sudeikis simply liked the tweets, which is reportedly his way of sticking to the show’s spirit by responding with kindness. (Also, letting the trolls know that he’s unbothered by their taunts probably doesn’t hurt either.)

For those who don’t know, the 48-year-old father of two frequently favorites tweets that make him feel good — just like the rest of us — but he’s also quick to embrace the haters, regularly smashing the heart button on harsh criticisms of himself and his show. It’s likely that Sudeikis bravely and boldly acknowledges the negativity to gently troll his trolls.
