On December 7th 2017, François Ruffin gave a wonderful speech on amateur sport in the French National Assembly. He was wearing the football jersey of the Olympique Eaucourtois, the club of his late friend Antoine Dumini, with whom he wrote a book entitled "comment ils nous ont volé le football" (How They Stole Football from Us). The wearing of the jersey created a scandal among the deputies, and François Ruffin was unfairly condemned to pay a €1378 fine.
