Stereotype confirmed by my Hungarian professor, who finished also French philology, and by one of the French I know personally (who speaks English but said that he's aware that most of his compatriots usually don't). Yeah, that’s another big stereotype here. I’ve found it to be largely true actually. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
