Now we all know that the French are hugely passionate about rugby cycling football uh don’t you mean soccer ignore him but Sports culture in France goes much further than that so if you want to know about water jousting drunk Marathon running and how witchcraft is linked to

Sport in France my friend you’ve come to the right place so let’s take a look at the weird world of french sports starting with football while French football follows many standard Traditions common to the sport globally there are some that are unique or more prominent to France like French

Football’s links with witchcraft bet you didn’t see that one coming several French football teams and individual players have tried to use it for their benefit uh so what’s your name oh I’m Jean Paul delix oh uh what do you do for a living John Paul I actually behead

Chickens so that M can score more goals during their games all right go M Mikes and witch doctors or marabo as they’re called in France claim to be able to cast a curse lift a curse bring luck and success or just make someone’s life miserable what

Would you like sir yes um could I have some chicken nuggets please and fortunately we’re all out of course damn those marabo ruined my life in 1997 Michel Deno who was the president of P at the time was so desperate for his side to reach the group stages of the

Champions League that he reached out to a witch doctor for help after a few consultations paying €200 each time the witch doctor kept telling deniso he couldn’t predict what would happen in this second leg then 2 days before the game he said you will win 5-0 it is

Certain the fourth goal will be scored by the number 18 in the 41st minute P then went on to win 5-0 and floron Maurice who wore the number 18 scored at the 40th minute I mean what a hack this guy he said 41st he clearly said 41st

And he just was so so off no but honestly I mean that’s pretty spooky I mean what are the odds actually someone in the comments section please tell me what what are the actual like numerical odds of that happening I I want to know and I’m not good enough at math to do

That and now of course a football game wouldn’t be complete without the fans shouting at the referee so in case you don’t know this already the classic refereeing insult in France is which literally translates to to the toilet referee so if there’s one thing you need

To learn before going to see a soccer game in France that’s that’s it I mean what are you going to do other than shouting that at the referee I mean that’s why we go to sports game right it’s just to get out our anger now of course this wouldn’t be a fair

Reflection of sports in France if I didn’t talk about rugby and for those of you who don’t know rugby is sort of like American football minus the shoulder pads the helmets and the general concern for safety although strangely enough even though data suggests that there are indeed less injuries in football the

Severity of injuries is generally higher than in rugby as the collisions lack the control that rugby players have the France National Rugby team known as liblu are one of the strongest teams in the world and have many trophies to show for their efforts and I’m not just

Saying that because I’m French it’s true it’s true it’s a fact they’re known for having a unique and creative playing style that usually involves risky moves liblu have competed at every World Cup since the inaugural tournament in 1987 and how many World Cup trophies have libl won you ask none they’ve never one

Ever it kind of reminds me of Lieutenant Dan’s family going to every single American war and dying in every single one you know like can we survive one please now here’s where it gets interesting the French love rugby so much that they ended up combining it with another sport that’s right

Introducing rugby golf a 100% real sport so let me get this right it’s not rugby yes and it’s not golf is that’s right so it’s rugby rugby and golf we but it’s far superior to rugby or golf why because it’s French of course and what

Are the rules here is my copy of rugby gold for dummies for dummies we it’s just a brief summary of the 567 rules of rugby golf why do you French make everything so complicated I just remember to give it back when you’re dunzo I use it to hold down my beastro

Table on my patio during Hurricane Season now on to cycling yes of course another one of France’s most popular sports both as a sport and as a recreational activity I mean recreational everything the French people do casually is not so casual I mean there’s just a lot of yelling

Involved especially Paris biking yelling cars people pedestrians anyways moving on the tour to France being the most iconic cycling race globally and it only ever happens in France it’s an integral part of friend sporting culture and it attracts top cyclists from around the world as well as millions of spectators

Who line the routes annually but I’m sure you just want to know about some crazy moments in its history so here we go in 1975 Eddie Ms one of the greatest cyclists in history was bitten by spectator’s dog during a stage but the incident wasn’t enough to stop MKS who

Went on to win that day stage and secure his fifth tool to Falls Victory talk about being a real champion in the 2016 tour Chris F from from F I don’t know anyways Chris f crashed during stage 12 instead of waiting for a replacement bike and losing time FR decided to run

Up M the sight of a cyclist running up a mountain became one of the iconic images of that Year’s tour and you know what that is badass during the 1964 tour legendary French cyclist Jack antil reportedly took a nap during a stage confident that his lead was sufficient I

Mean nobody knows if antil actually napped or if it was a tactic but either way if you’re so good at something that you can even just pretend 10 to sleep whilst doing it you’ve pretty much mastered it I think it’s safe to say you’re you’re pretty good at it you’re 10 out of

10 hey are you hurt do you need me to get a medic yeah no it’s just my elest but siest we’re in the middle of a race G you Americans are always in such a hurry don’t worry I’ll still make it back before you you friends are always so

Pompous Now France is also the motherland of one of the most ancient Sports tennis historians believe that tennis originated in 12th century northern France but go ahead and lower your expectations because back in the 12th century they didn’t play with rackets they Ed their hands I mean it’s

Not just lame it’s you didn’t invent a sport you’re just hitting a ball that that’s what kids do naturally you just hit a ball with your hand whoever came up with the racket that’s that’s who invented the sport but anyways they called the game judum game of the Palm

You may think wow French super original it says the people who called the sport foot football because you use a foot to hit a ball so yeah now the first famous tennis star wasn’t Rafael Nadal or the Williams sisters it was Francis King Louis I 10th who was known to be an avid

And talented Jud boom player and many credit him for popularizing the sport in Europe talented player sure what’s this score one three I’m in the lead no you fool I’m in the lead with 15 points wait what you’ve only scored one time how do you have 15

Points kill him wa no no no no okay you have 15 points please don’t send me to the guillotine no fine no guillotine for you 15 love love yes because you all love me so much also three points is not 45 it’s 40 okay let’s go now I could go

On about French tennis rugby football soccer would you please shut up French bastard but let’s dive a little deeper into the weirdest Sports in France and I’m not talking about a rugby golf cycling hybrid no we’re talking about water jousting known as jnik which is a traditional water sport that has its

Roots in medieval tournaments it involves two participants known as jousters who stand on narrow boats called two or t notes which are equipped with a platform at the stern where the jousters stand the objective is for one jouster to knock the other off their boat and into the water using a lance

The jousters wear protective gear including helmets and padding to ensure their safety during the competition it’s like the PG version of actual jings sign me up well well I mean to to watch someone else do it I I don’t want to get Jed slightly more popular is parkour

Originating in France in the suburbs of 1980s Paris parkour is a physical discipline that involves efficient movement through an environment using a combination of running jumping climbing swinging and vating the actual term parkour is derived from the French word par meaning route or course the the discipline was initially referred to as

Meaning the art of movement but I guess they just thought that was lame which it kind of is L the art of movement it’s it’s kind of arrogant and that’s all there is to it so let me get this straight this sport is essentially just finding the hardest way to get somewhere

How do you still not understand here step back let me demonstrate parkour parkour parkour there you see that’s parkour okay so it’s like Spider-Man but without the webs if Spider-Man were French stupid and now for my favorite of all the weird french sports this even qualifies as a sport the fact that it’s

A full Marathon probably means it does qualify as a sport but this is a marathon with a Twist it’s it’s a marathon with 23 wine stops that also offers Specialties such as oysters steak and ice cream how these people do it without throwing up I sure I will never

Know this is the midok marathon the midok marathon or marathon midok is a unique and popular Marathon held annually in the bordo wine region of France known for its unconventional atmosphere Runners have the opportunity to stop at designated refreshment stations where they can sample a variety of wines from local chatau along with

Regional Delicacies such as cheese and other Gourmet treats does anybody ever make it to the end I just want to know I’m sure the French drink the wine like water but just seems dubious I did it for a second there I thought I wouldn’t make it to the finish line but I

Did why why are there so many ships hey get off my farm you drunken imbecile ah good sir what what what was my finishing time please get out before I se you like one of my sheep I want my trophy please I I here it is never mind I want to

Thank everybody I dedicate this to my grand mer you rest in peace I love you Mommy I love you so much I’m calling the police see you guys next year water jousting a rugby golf hybrid parkour drunk marathons and Witchcraft yeah safe to say sports in France
