Telegraph:
"I'm in favour of universities running real subjects for degrees and I cannot believe that the University of Gloucestershire is actually running this course for Christian sports workers. I can only imagine it is some kind of Monty Python sketch," he said.
Darn straight it is right out the Flying Circus. What sports? Crucifix Vaulting, Water Walking Relays, Resurrectathons?
It is rich humor, and right for joking of...
The £3,000-a-year course, which is the first of its kind in Britain, has the backing of the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey. It is designed to help Christians build community relations through sport.
...
Dr Andy Pitchford, a lecturer in sports development at the university, said: "I think Richard has some interesting things to say, but he doesn't understand the history between sport and churches in this country.
Oh, talk about rich and ripe, ready for the comedy to be picked off and consumed.
To help Christians build community relations? What the hell is the Anglican church
Will we have trendy vicars relating the last the AC Milan and Liverpool final to the Resurrection? How about Manchester's loss and the Prodigal Son? Then he can do a lovely lovely song on his guitar.
Lovely. I guess they can help promote giving God and Jesus credit for victories on post game interviews and chats.
What an empty bit of fluff this is. Sure the church and the religious have helped start and fund sports...but notice they didn't have to make up a funny little degree to do it.
Just silly.
