[Poll] My university is offering classes on the New York Yankees. What are your thoughts on this?

So I'm going to be a freshman at UC Davis, which is near San Francisco. I was looking through my schedule when I saw a class that look very odd. Seminar: The dynasty of the New York Yankees I signed up for that class even though I HATE the New York Yankees. Besides, I rather be studying the Yankees than Biology or Chemistry. What would you have done in that situation? Go Giants! :P its 2 units

1. I would take it and I HATE the Yanks! It's a seminar though, so what it's probably only worth 1 credit, right??? I'd still take it though!
2. I love the Yankees, sign me up. That sounds awesome.
3. Waste of credits unless you're studying steroid abuse.
4. Well, I think it would be an interesting class, regardless if you like the Yankees or not, I'm thinking of majoring in either Kinesology (Sports Medicine), Sports Management, or Biology, so I would have taken that only because I want to major in it, but I think it would be an interesting class, having a baseball related class would be the best!
5. While I personally hate the Yankees, I'd be really interested in studying their history because of all the legends that have been on their team.
6. The Yankees are an interesting study in business if nothing else. Steinbrenner bought the team for 8 or 9 mil in '73 and turned it into a 1.6 billion dollar entity.
7. I am actually in a similar situation. I was kind of unhappy with my college choice, and was planning on transferring. Then, I hear Dr. Smith (the most awesome prof ever) mention (in a class I HAD to re-take because I failed it first semester- so, if I hadn't failed it, I wouldn't have heard him say this) that, next year, he will be teaching a History of Baseball course. So, my favorite teacher EVER (when I was REALLY unhappy with my school, I said I would love to somehow take him with me to teach there) is teaching the most awesome COURSE EVER. I stayed because of this.
8. Transfer to Berkeley.
9. This must count as a business credit, because it surely has nothing to do with ethics.
10. That's a waste of money. Spend it wisely when you're in college, that's your future, and what the hell are the Yankees going to have to do with that?
11. i would have picked the subjects that i thought would best suit my needs on either being educated, or finding a job. If the subject that i did not pick was going to make me more eligible for a job, and i picked a subject that i found easier, then, things might work out, but by reason, things should have a better chance of working out in finding a job if i did not the easier subject.
