Olympic ceremony's 'Last Supper' sketch never meant to disrespect, says Paris 2024 

What is the vision? Anti chist was your vision sadly. It was an obvious blasphemy. We are not stupid.

DISGUSTING !! Our entire extended family is now BOYCOTTING the OLYMPICS on ALL Media Platforms! SHAMEFUL FRANCE

The opening ceremonies should be representative of the Olympic values. Excellence, friendship and respect. I saw none of that instead it was a freak show of degeneracy.

France should never hold a World event in near Future.

Disgusting! It was the worst Olympic opening ceremony ever.

This has nothing to do with sports.

What do you mean no disrespect?? It was the intention to mock and disrespect the Christian faith.

They would never do this to Muslims, but go after Christians! I am beyond furious!

Cope harder Olympic committee, the majority of viewers thought your opening sucked.

To late! It was disgusting! No matter how much damage control they try, it was for all the world to witness the depravity from Paris...

Let me clarify: We’re not sorry we did it, we don’t think it was wrong, we are just sorry you got offended by it. And it’s not clear there wasn’t intentional disrespect. It was clear disrespect was very intentional.

Nonsense. The backlash forced this so called apology. The creative director of any event planned for months would of course know one of the most well known depictions of the last supper. Disgraceful. I am totally enraged.

Really disgusting, now they blame religious people

It was wokery even to the WOKE! All of them gaslighting!!! “No disrespect” “We should be grateful that they are hosting” These so called artists are a disgraceful example and shameful representation of a beautiful country, its history, amazing culture and its people. I feel sorry for the athletes especially as this has overshadowed and placed so much negativity around what they’ve worked hard for.

The worst Olympic opening EVER!

What a disgrace! I will NOT be watching the Olympics -it is now a bastardization of everything that it ever stood for. Athletes need to rethink goals, because the Olympics no longer represent the best of the best.

Boy did he screwup. People just want to watch athletes not have to have someone's ideology shove down your throat.

basically they are not sorry for what they did. they are sorry because people are upset for misunderstanding it.

The only thing worse then what we saw during the Olympics is the apology.

This was not creative at all. Nor was it an apology. It was disrespectful and disgusting.

Beliving your own lies about the opening ceremony is not an apology, The topic had nothing to do with the sportsmanship and achievemnet of athletes-

Embarrassing!

Disgraceful. 🤮

Thousands of ways to include elements without abusing a religion, the largest in the world. Muslims also revere Jesus and are also offen, they are the second largest so just who were being inclusive to?

God shall not be mocked and woe to France, another nation to come under God’s wrath.

Its disgusting, its blasphemy!!

I've enjoyed the Olympics all my life. I've always thought it was meant to celebrate excellence and self-discipline and talent, and I found it inspiring. No longer. I won't be watching. Shame on the Olympic committee.

In all cases, what you did it is disgusting even for old people and kids. Shame on you.

Boycott Olympic

Why not mock the Middle-East, North Africa Prophet? If you did not intend to offend, be consistent SVP, Madames et Monsieurs.

How is this not disrespect?

They just hate the well deserved backlash.

I too will not watch the Olympics sadly because of this disgusting trangenda mockery

Isn't it common sense to steer clear of religion and politics in events such as these? What "artistic" role does either play in the Olympic Games? They do not belong there. Shame on France for its non-apology. Don't let them host the Olympics ever again. The opening ceremony creative director never apologized. Instead, he tried to explain why he still feels justified in including that garbage in the show! Ridiculous!

No Paris Olympics games. Garbage.

I want to throw up.

Does he dare to mock Muhammad ? 😂😂😂

No home work done on Olympic program?..... Excuse is meaningless........ It's disgusting, disrespectful, demonic & devilish

I’m a Hindu and i support all the Christian’s around the world….this is disgusting…how on earth did they just do the mockery of the Last supper and Jesus Christ….I’m boycotting the Olympics from now on….I’m not even a Christian but this is making me angry.

The invocation of "freedom of artistic creation" stands in stark contrast to every other sentiment expressed here. The whole point of freedom of expression, in the liberal democratic tradition, is that you have every right to be impertinent and subversive. You have every right to criticize and offend the _bourgeoisie_ in the time honored tradition of the _avant garde._ But if that's your tradition, have the courage of your convictions, don't deny them! This blending of blatant attack with cowardly denial only manages to be mutually insulting.

WOW are you serious ??? Mocking the last supper ??? This is the Devils work and needs to be stopped NOW

It was very disrespectful and mocked my Jesus…my Savior! They will pay!

These organizers are bunch of idiots. It has nothing to do with Olympics.

When people are saying the Nazis did a better ceremony for the Olympic Games is telling you something.

Inclusive, Freedom of artistic creation, intention was never to be impertinent...enough of the excuses. The Director of the Paris 2024 Olympic ceremony's FAILED, and that is why he has been paraded out to try defend his "creative' opening. Sorry, this is the WORST opening ceremony I have ever seen. In my mind and heart, this 2024 Olympic ceremony failed me and many others. People will not remember this 2024 Olympic in a good way, It will NOT be a memory of inclusive and artistic expression. They will remember how disgusting and disrespectful it was. Hopefully any country or city hosting a future Olympic will remember this FAIL and not follow the failures of this Olympic ceremony. And shame on anyone who participated in this disgusting display of artistic creation.

Laughable when these people include they exclude a billion Christians. The language is insane 😢

gaylympics

Disgusting!!!!!!!! Will never watch again!

If you feel offended change the channel,I have for good,hope you lose all your sponsors!

Mocking one's religion is not inclusive

Coca-Cola involved, is anyone surprised.

boycott

This is a shame. Boycott olimpics and sponsors

We can now understand the Book of “Revelation”. It is right before our eyes. We see thru a glass clearly.

Be careful when mocking GOD GOD is not be mock Anyway all of us will appear to GOD someday and we will give accounts

Blasphemous!

Wokeism=Paris 2024 Olympics😂

Devilish ceremony

They do not have even shame. May God forgive us, this world is going crazier😯🙏🙏🙏

Its the organizers failure to set a borderline...for a unity and solidarity and a family oriented presentation such as the Olympics ... performers on such events should not be allowed to cross the lines that will jeopardize the entegrity much more the purpose of why the Olympics was created in the first place.

So its fine to mock religion but totally wrong to say something negative about lgbtq, boycott olympics

The spirit of the Games is to celebrate diversity and foster global unity, avoiding any actions or messages that could be offensive to any particular group or belief system.

Offend billions of people then apologize but tgen defend themselves

Shame on you

Let's see what happen if they blasphem prophet Muhammad. I'd like to see how they apologise from head to toe on the floor.

If this parody and excuse was the best they could do to be inclusive, Mon Dieu! God help us!

Wait the reaction is going to come from...God himself.

This “apology” is just as disrespectful as that mocking scene itself. Such a shame.

ummm didn't know it'll be offensive? They would NEVER think of doing anything like this to a certain religion (you know which one I'm referring to). People are always mocking Jesus Christ... one day, when we all stand before Him, everyone who is not His will be sorry, but then it'll be too late for apologies and repentance.

it isn't a parody of the last supper, but a parody of what these people are, which is ironically a parody of themself.

Not even an apology? Several acts were offensive not only The Last Supper!

Paris Olympic Ceremony Director Thomas Jolly wouldn't dare to mock Muslims and their religion. So much for his BS excuse. He mocked Christians because he knew they are an easy target and he knew he could get away with it. It is very telling that Thomas Jolly has not apologized to Christians worldwide with a genuine full apology. Olympic organizers saying we apologize, if anyone was offended is a TOTAL BS APOLOGY.

That is not an apology. to have a child in the middle of a scene like that is not promoting unity

So why did you do it. This is crap if people? yes we take offence and it should never be done again.

The “Bud Light” of sports!! Good job IOC

I believe that Freedom of Artist Creation does not include mocking someones faith.

Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. As they were eating, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” And He answered, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself.” While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’ But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away.” Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You.” All the disciples said the same thing too. - Matthew 26:20-35

I don't have any discrimination to drag or gay that they struggle a lot than those straight people, but anything too extreme will lead to its opposite., especially. the kids, are we adults losing responsibility of protecting the kids? It ’s not a civilized society.It's not about if u are drag or gay, It's about being a human with common sense!

Yup, it is indeed a ceremony like no other 😂

Why would you change the historical scene of the One and Only Jesus Christ. That is part of what is disrespectful.

How is it possible to celebrate fraternity and the union of peoples and cultures and, at the same time, disrespect billions of Christians among the French and the athletes present there and from all over the world? In this sense is like no other...

Those people are fully out of their minds! They should stop sticking their heads in the sand!

Not meant to be disrespectful. Some people believe them.

Never again to give the French the organization of whatever...I m going to boycott watching this

Blasphemympics.

They don't apologise, instead they are proud they nailed it and will do it again. What a shock of forcing inclusion by mocking others. Shame on Macron and his political team who allowed this to happen

Simply A Horrific Opening!... I Rather Watch A Toilet Flush!!

Wether or not it mocked Christianity it was still filth witnessed by children around the world

Indeed, " A ceremony like no other" 🙄 . It was disrespectful, shameful and the worst olympic opening ceremony 🤮 Is there no other way of showing your 'inclusivity' and 'artistry' other than making a parody of the last supper? Other than disregarding modesty?... stop shoving your woke idealogies... You call this your freedom of artistic creation when clearly you can't even show a decent Can-can..it was pathetic...Kahit papano the ceremony was saved by your athletes during the lighting ceremony..dapat un ang highlight ng event eh, kaso mas pinili niyong ipalaganap personal idealogies niyo..at buti na lang may Celine Dion sa dulo..

"If "some" were offended..."? Mr. Jolly, you have people who don't even profess a faith or belief system, who are saying that this was outright blasphemy. The Alphabet Mafia wants others to respect them. Respect is earned, not given or demanded. That's why we don't respect the Mafia.

Was looking forward to the games not watching that mess up. Complete disrespect. France what a disgrace!

That was pathetic.

Absolutely disgusting and they are NOT sorry for any part of it! My eyes will never see, 1 second of the olympics ever again!

👎🏻

I WILL NOT WATCH THE OLYMPICS! REVOLTING 🤮🤢🤮

as Roman Catholics, we should defend the name, dignity, and works of our God. we should respectfully pull out. we should never stand to anyone who is making a joke of what our savior has done for our salvation.😢

Not meant to be disrespectfull. Do you think we believe you.🤬

Olympic going down hill, I think it was the worst opening ceremony I have ever seen.

Total depravity....

It was so bad, NBC has scrubbed 95% of that skit from the online rebroadcast and you can’t find it anywhere on RU-vid. And no, these are not apologies.
