Two senators have presented a bill to address what is now openly described as a crisis in French football. The draft envisions sweeping reform to tackle “structural” issues, including broadcasting rights and the ever-present threat from illegal streaming services. On the table, seven years in prison and a €750,000 fine for pirate IPTV suppliers operating as a group, three years and €300,000 for those not, and a new crime of inciting use of pirate IPTV services or software.

    The bill starts off by saying football is organisationally incompetent and can’t make money because it’s too stupid to do it right, then blames piracy. Yeah right.
