“…For Dauncey and Hare (1999), France remains true to its belief that sport must be a public utility. For example, the soccer world championship title won by France in 1998 has been used to promote social inclusion and national solidarity (Dine, 2003). Given the hegemonic development of professional sport, such a position seems paradoxical.…”

The relative age effect (RAE) is considered a common phenomenon in elite sport. Howeven it has not been examined systematically in previous research, and the mechanisms likely to generate or to limit such an effect are little understood. This paper investigates the prevalence of the RAE in French professional championship-level players, taking into account the potential influence of gender. Among all investigated sports, no statistically significant RAE was found, except for male ice hockey. For male handball and rugby union a trend was detected, but the RAE did not appear statistically significant. In line with previous'studies, n osignificant RAEs were found in female elite sports. The results are discussed with regard to the potential mechanisms underlying RAE.

“…(FIFA, 2006a: n.p. ) More generally, Zidane has been a key figure in the presentation of the French football team as a positive instance of multiculturalism in the face of the right-wing, racist attitudes and policies typified by Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front party Hare, 1999, 2000;Dine, 2003;Dubois, 2000;Hare, 2003;Silverstein, 2000).…”

Major sport spectacles are probably the most potent, vibrant stages on which human drama can be played out in real time before a vast international audience. Media sport, through global scale 'frozen moments', can precipitate popular interrogations of 'race' and its myriad connections to other socio-cultural structures and identities. This article considers the case of the now infamous incident of French captain Zinedine Zidane head-butting the Italian Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup Final of association football in Germany, as a striking example of the political resonance and reach of mega-media sport, as well as of the perils of being 'lost' and 'found' in popular media translation. The persistence and pervasiveness of sexism in the language and metaphor of racism, it is argued, is an essential ingredient of the 'sexual racism' within the patriarchal genre of sports field insults. The immediate speculation and intense search for 'signs' of racism in the Zidane-Materazzi affair reveals that it lurks close below the surface of contemporary sport. This article advocates a cultural politics that understands and resists the causes of racism through sport, just as it refuses to legitimize racialized categories of the human in the process.

“…De surcroît, la situation dans laquelle se trouve l'équipe de France le 6 octobre 2001 s'avère particulière. En effet, trois ans auparavant, le 12 juillet 1998, les scènes de liesse ayant accompagné la victoire des Tricolores en Coupe du monde ont conduit certains journalistes, politiciens et intellectuels à invoquer le triomphe du multiculturalisme (Crolley and Hand 2002;Hare 1999, 2000;Dietschy et al 2006;Dine 2000Dine , 2003Gastaut 2007;Marks 1999;McKeever 1999;Mignon 1999;O'Donnell and Blain 1999;Silverstein 2000) en raison du métissage des joueurs. 1 La sélection française fut décrite comme le symbole de la « Nouvelle France », une France « black-blanc-beur » unie en dépit de sa diversité.…”

“…Plusieurs études scientifiques portent sur cette rencontre (Amara 2006;Beyria 2010;Dine 2003;Gastaut 2008;Harzoune 2003;Taïeb 2003). L'originalité de celle-ci réside dans son cadre d'analyse et sa méthodologie.…”
