You can now study a Cristiano Ronaldo course at a Canadian University

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hCBgesAPCU Cristiano Ronaldo turns 30 today, that much you probably already knew. With all the plaudits the World Player of the Year will be receiving today, one Canadian University is going a bit far in their adoration of the Real Madrid star. The University of British Columbia - Okanagan, are now offering a course on the sociology of Ronaldo, after a lecturer was inspired by a Portuguese commentator's emotional broadcast during their World Cup playoff win over Sweden in 2013. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be a full degree on Ronaldo (now that would be something!), but rather a module for fourth year sociology students. The course will look at Ronaldo's rise, the global phenomenon around him, and other guff like that. Having sat through some mind-numbing sociology lectures in college, which were basically eulogies to Morrissey and The Smiths, this doesn't actually seem like such a crazy idea. Maybe some Irish lectures could do something similar on Ronan O'Gara, using Michael Corcoran as an inspiration?
