Sergio Ramos is a matador

Give the man a cape and watch him dazzle.

Sergio Ramos was born in Camas, Spain, the birthplace of bull fighting. He grew up going to the famed ring in the center of town and watching the most fearless men in all of the country put their lives on the line against 1,000 pound beasts.

From that came the world’s greatest bullfighter.

Ramos went to the country’s top bullfighting school, where he learned to tame the beasts. He learned how to see into their finds, see what they were thinking and become one with the bull. Once he did that, there was never a doubt who would win the battle between him and the bull eying a kill.

And his form was immaculate.

He is also somewhat adept and accomplished at playing football.

(Nothing about Ramos and bullfighting is true. He was born in Camas, did his matador impersonation after winning Copa del Rey and that is where the truths end.)
