IS KOLA BOKNI’S ISAAC MCADOO GAY TED LASSO?
While took Ted Lasso a few seasons for s characters to bee explicly gay, was worth the wa. * isaac gay ted lasso *
This mak him the perfect foil for the tensn of Col’s sexualy, and an ial readg is that Isaac, the only player on Richmond to know that Col is gay, isn’t fortable around his teammate. It’s here where everythg explos, when a fan yells a homophobic slur at the team as they ex the field.
“TED LASSO” JT REVEALED THAT THIS CHARACTER IS GAY AND CLOSETED
* isaac gay ted lasso *
What if one of was gay?
Isaac not beg told that Col was gay had absolutely nothg to do wh Isaac, but rather Col’s sense of self. We end their story wh Col and Isaac playg FIFA, as Issac peppers Col wh all sorts of qutns about what ’s like to be gay a locker room.
IS ISAAC GAY TED LASSO AND WHO PLAYED THE ROLE OF ISAAC MDOO?

If you are wonrg whether Kola Bokni’s Isaac McAdoo is gay ‘Ted Lasso, ’ here is everythg you need to know!
The storyle first to light the third episo when we disver Col Hugh, Isaac’s close iend, and teammate, is gay. In the eighth episo of season 3, tled ‘We’ll Never Have Paris, ’ Isaac disvers Col is gay after gog through the latter’s phone.
