Last night on Cooper's show toward the end CNN's "stats guy" Harry
Enton showed the logos (two at a time) of all 8 NFL teams in the 2025
playoffs and Cooper either couldn't identify the team name, the team's
city, or most of the time both with all 8 of them.

 Given the team's moving cities and some changing names it's getting
harder to keep them straight when you don't watch regularly.
 

I realize not everyone is into pro football but it's almost
inconceivable someone in Cooper's position would be so ignorant of
those NFL team names, just from hearing others talk about them in his
everyday work. And if he is it's also inconceivable the CNN bigwigs
would let him broadcast his ignorance to the world.

 Or they would want to do so because it shows he is human  and not some
all knowing machine.

An essayist I read sometimes had one piece about his native Britain. Apparently, the British parliament maintains short biographies of all members of Parliament - currently there are 650 - and he happened to read them for some reason. He was struck by how every last one of them - no exceptions - made a point of identifying their favourite "football" (soccer) team. He thought it was incredibly unlikely each and every one of them cared passionately about football and speculated that every one of them felt the need to profess a favourite team in Britain's favourite sport just to seem like the British equivalent of a "regular guy".
