No,
this is not a joke. A university in Canada is now offering students the chance
to take a sociology course… in Cristiano Ronaldo
The
older generation like to tell us whippersnappers that today's university education
isn't what it used to be. Apparently, further education is not as rigorous or
taxing as it was "in their day".
This
news is NOT going to help shut them up.
The
University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada is now offering sociology
students the opportunity to do a course in Cristiano Ronaldo.
Associate
Professor Luis Aguiar is the brains behind this masterplan. He offers his
justification in this video, saying of the world's best player:
"What
makes him special is that he has visibility beyond the football world. He has
cultural appeal, he has sex appeal, he has influence in cultural looks and he
takes very good care of himself."
Hmm…
sounds like a big Ronaldo fan to us. He goes on to claim he had the idea for
the course when he watched Ronnie take Portugal to the World Cup virtually
single-handed, during the World Cup play-off victory over Zlatan's Sweden side.
He
also gives himself away a little with this quote:
"I
don't know if Ronaldo has heard about the course - I can't imagine he hasn't.
I'd love to have Ronald Skype-ing to the class. I think that would be
awesome."
So,
a proper course or a chance for the professor to possibly meet his hero? We'll
let you decide - after we take a look at some of the modules we assume are
included:
