Athletes are fighting for the French language to be considered special. There are even footballers who are loudly demanding that French be used in the championship. After all, Canada is a bilingual country. In Quebec, we speak French, Why English should be everywhere. Why write everything in English?
That’s what angered Montreal Alouettes player Marc-Antoine Deguay after winning the Canadian championship. “Keep your English.” Well, he got really angry, and after that, he said: “Because we are Dive champions, let’s go.” English will come out when your knowledge is at an end.
He is the only one not to notice that only English has a place in the game. Other athletes supported him. The Quebec Minister of French even tabled a motion to respect the French language in sports leagues..
In any case, the footballer’s departure caused a debate in Canada. Marc-Antoine Dequoy came to explain his bloodshed on television sets: ““I don’t see the protection of the French language as a political issue, but as a social issue,” he said.”
It is not only here that the French language is subject to debate.
