Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is from KC and people from Kansas speak in a Midwest accent. I don’t get it. I grew up in STL and lived in KC for 3 years. We don’t have southern accents. I’m I missing something?

    Honestly, we sound pretty southern to areas up north here in the US. I went to Boston and a local asked where I was from. I said Kansas and he said “you all sound like you’re from Texas!!” I’m positive it was a character choice to show that’s how we sound to people not around here.

      Can confirm, I’m from the northeast and a lot of midwestern accents sound southern to me. I’m not sure if I would confuse Kansas and Texas because I think of Texas accents as pretty strong, but maybe I would.
