re: Ted Lasso Season 2 Thread w/ Spoilers

quote:

---

Nate isn't mad Ted got HC he was grateful to Ted for making him a coadh. He was spiteful that Ted asked Roy to be a coach. He even said it "you made me feel like the most important person in the world then ignored me". That's referring to making him a coach then ignoring him for Roy.

Next season should be great!

I’ll be honest. I think much of Nate’s rant toward Ted was a channeling of things he wanted to bitch to his own father about. Problem is, he doesn’t have those balls. So he has Ted as the proxy since Ted was kind of the father figure Nate wishes he had so when Roy joins staff and gets Ted giddy, it feels like a fatherly betrayal.

Nate has father angst he’s been too much of a coward to address directly.
