But even by his lofty standards, this was an impressive piece of s***housery.
The Real Madrid legend presented popstar Shakira with two Latin Grammy Awards on Friday night.
On the surface, this is normal news, but there is so much vital context.
Shakira and Barcelona icon Gerard Pique were involved in an acrimonious split last summer following an 11-year relationship.
While Ramos and Pique were teammates at international level with Spain, the two centre-backs were fierce El Clasico rivals for more than a decade.

Incredibly, one of the awards Ramos gave Shakira was honouring a song widely considered a 'diss-track' towards Pique.
It was one of three awards the Colombian singer collected on the night and she was pictured alongside Sevilla defender Ramos after the event in Spain.
Shakira even alluded to her difficult split with Pique, who is now with Clara Chia Marti after allegations of an affair.
"I also want to share this with my Spanish public," she said.

"You have been there accompanying me through the good and the bad, in difficult moments."
Of course, football fans were only interested in the subtle role of Ramos, who somehow managed to insert himself into the Shakira/Pique drama.
One fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "This is generational s***housery."
Another wrote: "Pique thought El Classico was over but Ramos never left the pitch."
A third put: "Ramos giving song of the year to Shakira at the Latin Grammy Awards for the diss against Pique is one of the funniest things that happened in 2023."
