If you are in Europe and love the Dieux du Stade, you may want to watch Franco-German tv channel ARTE tonight at 8:40 pm (ECT).

You are in a for a treat: high-brow elitist ARTE will broadcast a made-for-TV movie called "Fort comme un homme" ("Strong as a man").

The story is very loosely based on the Dieux du Stade: a young and handsome rugby player signs a contract with a Parisian professional rugby club.
He is very talented and soon discovers fame when he gets his picture shot stark naked in the club's annual calendar.

This being ARTE, the movie wil end as a moral tale - yawn - but who cares?
