The press cartoonist Cabu begins making humorous comic strips full of laugh and reflection since the end of the 1950's. His watch analyzes the failings of our societies including sport and sportmen who are for some of them a kind of modern icons. When he was at the highschool he must follows sport teachings but doesn't like them because the teacher do like a tyran with him. "Cabu, long live sport" exhibition tributes also a famous man killed by terrorists the 7th of January 2015 near a place la Promenade des anglais where a terrorist has assassinated 90 innocent people the 14th of July 2016. Looking like a maze speaks about many theme explaining the Cabu's thinking. "Tête de vainqueur" first critizes sport heroes (Landis, Poulidor, Armstrong, Rasmussen, ...) and highlights a 1959 Cabu jokes about the Paris - Starsbourg walking race for showing that people can be fool. "Au micro et dans les gradins" tells about sport journalists and how they work. Owning a press card Cabu doesn't have a chauvinist spirit and inside theses strips he denounces the foolish or the changeability of some of his colleagues when they are in front of a microphone. Cabu speaks about great event watching on TV each summer the tour de France bike race. "Le tour de France et les français" ponctuated sleeping times with his no goods sides like doping and the building of drug networks. Cabu includes also the French national sport the soccer. With "Rien a foot" he underlines the military atmosphere in each parts of the game and business around involving sponsors, players and refferrees far from ethic. He also concludes that soccer isn't something good for the brain. The exhibition ends by the summer potent event in the world the 2024 Olympic games ("Jeux olympiques pas JO JO"). Cabu highlights the fact that theses games stay far from the Pierre de Coubertin original sentence in which particpate is the most important. For him the Olympic games move between a modern version of the Roman circus games and a funny show.

He looks like but it doesn't. Cabu passes away before Messi becomes to be famous.
