The fan held out a sign reading “Allez Opi-Omi.” It’s a mix of French and German terms that roughly equate to “Go Grandpa-Grandma.”

As told to the AFP news agency, Thouault says the plans to pursue legal action are “so that the tiny minority of people who do this don’t spoil the show for everyone.”

What a crazy story for a woman with a sign that doesn’t make much sense.
