Why the Final Episode of Ted Lasso was Un-Believable (SPOILERS-FREE)

June 8, 2023 Sam Chan

The final episode of “Ted Lasso” dropped.

No spoilers … but Ted Lasso ends as he begins. Super humble. It’s not about him.

But this is what makes Ted Lasso so unbelievable.

The ancient Greeks and Romans saw humility as a weakness.

So why do we now see humility as a virtue?

According to Aussie author John Dickson’s book, Humilitas, Jesus gave us a “humility revolution”.

If the Son of God gives up his glory to die a slave’s death on a cross for us, then this must be what great leaders do.

Great leaders give up their glory to serve.

Maybe our need for Ted Lasso to be believable comes from a need for our leaders to be humble like Jesus.

In the end, we have a God-given need for Jesus to be our leader … and yes for Total Football and dad jokes.
