The White House announced on Monday that the cast of the hit show “Ted Lasso” will be visiting to discuss mental health initiatives with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. The visit comes as the nation faces a mental health crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The cast, led by Emmy-winning actor Jason Sudeikis, who plays the title character, will discuss the importance of addressing mental health to promote overall wellbeing. The character Dani Rojas, a soccer pro coached by Lasso, made the saying “Fútbol is life!” into a catch phrase in 2021.

The cast of “Ted Lasso” is known for its uplifting message and has been praised for its positive representation of mental health. The show has become a fan favorite and has been nominated for several awards, including an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

The visit from the cast of “Ted Lasso” is a testament to the Biden administration’s commitment to addressing mental health needs in the U.S. It is a reminder that mental health is an important issue that needs to be addressed in order to promote overall wellbeing.
