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?

You didn’t read what I said then - I am fully aware that it’s not authentic, because they did it on purpose. I love the show! I understand their reasoning behind the exaggerated accent.
My frustration isn’t with the show - it’s with the comment section here in this post. Because it’s filled with people telling those of us who are actually from the area that we DO sound that way, when we’re here. We know what we sound like. That’s all!
I am from southern Kansas, a lot of people DO sound like Ted. When I moved out of state for college, people mocked my accent a lot. I didn’t notice that I spoke differently until it was pointed out. I recently spent time in Wichita and the accent was obvious and endearing.
