This was slightly interesting IMO, although I'm not surprised it was posted before.

Ligue 1 games delayed because of referees protest
PARIS, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The Ligue 1 matches scheduled on Saturday evening started 10 minutes late because of a protest led by the referees' union.
The men in black held up the kickoff in the seven games of the programme to draw attention to their financial situation.
They asked for an increase in wages and pleaded for better security conditions at French championship matches.
