The real world intrudes on Richmond in season three's seventh episode.
'Ted Lasso': Billy Harris on Colin's "Armor" and Desire to Live a Complete Life After Pivotal Episode
The on- and off-pitch stories for AFC Richmond dovetailed via Sam , who is eager to put the best possible presentation forward at Ola’s for when his father visits from Nigeria — down to wondering if they need better spoons. Chef Simi assures him everything will be fine, though she also makes a gallows-humor joke about Sam’s dad being allowed in the country due to a hard-line stance on immigration from Britain’s Home Secretary.
Sam tweets a fairly innocuous message at her, saying he hopes for better from the country’s leaders. The secretary responds by saying “Footballers should leave the politics to us and just shut up and dribble” — shades of Fox News host Laura Ingraham insulting LeBron James several years ago — and that “[Sam] should worry less about the safety of our nation and worry more about being a mediocre player on a mediocre team.
Sam replies that he’d “rather be a mediocre footballer than a world-class bigot” and goes about his business — until arriving at the restaurant to find it trashed and “Shut up and dribble” spray-painted on a wall. It’s a devastating moment for usually unfailingly upbeat Sam, who rails at the world that builds him up for playing well, only to tear him down if he doesn’t, or if he dares to have an opinion about something other than football.
