Exactly, but the tabloid press seize on this and it becomes common understanding.
A 2 minute Google found this on Wikipedia:
"In 2000, Staffordshire University was mocked as providing 'David Beckham Studies' because it provided a module on the sociological importance of football to students taking sociology, sports science or media studies.[4] A professor for the department stressed that the course would not focus on Beckham, and that the module examines "the rise of football from its folk origins in the 17th century, to the power it's become and the central place it occupies in British culture, and indeed world culture, today."
So a module, not even a whole degree, on the 'sociological importance of football' got twisted into a David Beckham degree.
