Cristiano Ronaldo stans can now take their fandom to the next level by studying a Cristiano Ronaldo-themed sociology course at university.
The University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada is responsible for the offering sessions on the Ballon d'Or winner as the centre of its sociology degree, with modules including "The Commodification of Cristiano Ronaldo".
Associate Professor at the university, Luis Aguiar, said:
"Ronaldo is the center and every discussion, class meeting revolves around Ronaldo initially. And then we explore, we broaden out to larger themes. So it starts with Ronaldo but Ronaldo is almost like a springboard to talk about larger issues that are much more sociologically significant than just a biography of Ronaldo.
I don’t know if Ronaldo knows about the course. I haven’t heard from Ronaldo, I haven’t heard from his entourage. I would love to hear from either one, and I would love to have Ronaldo maybe Skyping into the class."
Here's a taster of what students should expect.
