Résumé anglais Car workers and sport. This article examines the case of French car workers from 1890 to 1980s, using a historical perspective to try to explain the variations between one occupational group and another in the same nation in sports participation and spectatorship. The growing variety of car workers' sports activities and the changes in the hierarchy of their preferences do not only stem from the phenomena of industrial expansion and cultural diffusion, but they also manifest the action of workers' and employers' institutions whose ideas were sometimes convergent. The constitution of sports paternalism was however dominated by the implantation of the practices and rules of the market, which was speeded up at three moments : the First World War, the turning-point of the 1930s, and the Liberation with the transfer of some of the activities to the works committees. Finally, the history of Sochaux Football Club illustrates the shift from amateurism to factory sport, as well as the imposition by the dominant classes of their relation to the body and the game ("good behaviour" and social ritualization), and the management of the club as a business.
