The sport also has to deal with the shock of the sars coronavirus. In football, the championship of league 1 and league 2 will not resume this summer.
More of a spectator, more of the game, the French football is at a standstill. An end of season premature and especially a shortfall of 300 to 400 million euros to the Ligue 1 clubs who negotiate wages downward, with its champions. The economic model is in danger, the professional clubs live ticketing, sponsors and public partnerships, as well as the money distributed by the broadcasters of the television.
All of the sports under threat ?
But what are all the sports that are in danger. Seven of the 30 professional clubs of French rugby are questioning their future. Rugby, basketball or handball are dependent on tickets sold. Playing behind closed doors would send many clubs to the mat. Only football could survive a recovery without spectators. In the meantime, the professional clubs rely on part-time unemployment to stay afloat.
