Fire and Ice in…Iceland 

The thing is, I get all those points. I know exactly what they were doing. Jamie was never dumb, he was underestimated for sure. His learning was impeded by his ego and never being taught in a way that inspired him. We saw it in S1 when he told Keeley he appreciated her taking him to cultural events. She had the patience and understanding that Jamie likely never had before in a teacher/mentor. 

I'm not saying that Beard and Roy learning their lesson about being non-judgmental is my issue. It's the larger issue of the show and how it’s message is to teach people without having to criticize or make a dig or be mean. How many footballers could tell you the difference between if it was hypocritical or ironic... how much of the general population could? So it's a joke I'd get in a regular show, but Ted Lasso usually goes above that.

As I mentioned in another comment - how about Jamie knowing a linguistic term based on his interest in and knowledge of fashion. For me, that would have been more pointed. And Roy using pre-Madonna versus prima donna. Beyond the continuity error, all the reasoning Jamie pointed out to Roy? Roy would have been astute enough in cultural terms to know it. So it's against character for both Beard and Roy to make those mistakes. However, if Jamie had again used fashion to make a point, it might have enlightened Roy to the fact that not everything he thinks (canonically) is stupid is useless. So the intentionality would be to learn and for their minds to be broadened while Jamie made his point using his unique intelligence rather than it being about their errors in areas they have expertise. Lifting up rather than insulting.
