French football is struggling to come together against the coronavirus pandemic. While club presidents do not manage to agree, for the moment, on the terms of a resumption (or not) of Ligue 1, another conflict does not end: that of the payment of rights TV in this period when there are no more matches. To break the deadlock, the Sports Ministry has proposed mediation between the different parties, says L'Equipe this Wednesday.
