Above a banner from the C8 channel with the text
“The big rant of the president of the French Golf Federation against LFI”
, Pascal Grizot repeated what he has been explaining since last weekend on the sets television: “
Me, systematically, when errors are written, I write and I ask for a meeting.”
“
I just ask to have a real discussion with them since they don't know the subject.

Pascal Grizot, president of the FFGolf
To the question from Cyril Hanouna who wants to know if he had a response from Mathilde Panot after his letter, Grizot responds live, sitting at the “TPMP” table:
“I have not had any contact… In my mail , I'm trying to set the record straight.
I did not have any answer.

And to continue, regarding the leaders of France Insoumise:
“I understand the difficulty of politicians who must express themselves on a multitude of subjects.
Me, I am single-subject with golf, so I know the file.
I just ask to have a real discussion with them since they don't know the subject.

While columnist Gilles Verdez holds a “No!” sign in his hand.
» as a response to the question
“Are you shocked by the posters of the France Insoumise campaign?”
"
, Cyril Hanouna then decides to attack him.
“Today, we must not do targeting!
(…) Gilles Verdez, how long are you going to say such nonsense…”
“Hey, what would you say if it were written: “The poor vote, the Jews and the Arabs vote, and the footballers too!”

Cyril Hanouna, speaking to his columnist Gilles Verdez
To illustrate his point, Cyril Hanouna turns to the LFI posters broadcast on the big screen before saying:
“Hey, what would you say if it were written:
“The poor vote, the Jews and Arabs vote, and the footballers too !”
How would you take these tweets?

Supported by a raging Cyril Hanouna, the president of the FFGolf garnered the support of several columnists during the broadcast: Géraldine Maillet, Valérie Benaïm and Jean-Michel Maire noted in unison that golf was “a sport
that is full of values"
, where each practitioner "
plays first against himself"
.

“Today, social racism is the greatest danger posed by your friends from the LFI,”
Cyril Hanouna continued.
They are practicing anti-rich racism and they want to pit the rich and the poor against each other.
They are doing something very, very serious.”
And the host concludes, before making fun one last time in song of Gilles Verdez who
“loves Panot”
:
“This tweet is extremely serious, it targets the rich and puts a target on golfers.
At some point, you're going to have to wake up.
It’s not possible to say that.”
