Robert Quinn is joined by sociologist Patrick Mignon to discuss “Le Classique” – the most heated rivalry in French football.

The Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille fixture represents not just football, but a social divide and clash against Jacobinism.

Patrick Mignon is a sociologist and the former head of sociological research at France’s National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance. He is the author of the 1998 work “Le Passion du Football”.
