2714723, france did not shut down ligue 1 bcause they are a "civilized country"

it's because literally zero people outside of france care about ligue 1. and there are no lucrative TV deals at stake.

it's easier to shut down a league that doesn't draw high viewership numbers and lucrative TV deals. ask the eredivisie.

la liga and the premiere league (probably) won't shut down because there is too much money at stake. same with the bundesliga.
