It was just a bit ago that CNN demonstrated that math is hard by displaying a graphic showing the “yes” vote for Scottish independence edging out “no” by a count of 58 percent to 52 percent. Now, CNN is showing that sports can be difficult to keep straight as well.

@jeffpearlman It's like they don't even care about being accurate. I mean, seriously. The Vikings haven't used that logo since 2012.

The logo might not even be the most egregious error in the graphic, according to some.
