Olympics Organizers Say They Meant No Disrespect

Paris Olympics organizers apologized to anyone who was offended by a tableau that evoked Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" during the glamorous opening ceremony, but defended the concept behind it Sunday.

Obviously nobody is buying the TWO Fake News threads you had take down today, rofl!

Are you going to have to refund the Trump Campaign's rubles?

On Topic:

"Da Vinci's painting depicts the moment when Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him. The scene during Friday's ceremony featured DJ and producer Barbara Butch " an LGBTQ+ icon " flanked by drag artists and dancers.

Religious conservatives from around the world decried the segment, with the French Catholic Church's conference of bishops deploring "scenes of derision" that they said made a mockery of Christianity "" thread article

Anyone who wants to see a, "mockery of Christianity" need only look to American White Christian Nationalists selling out for a traitor, convicted felon, adjudicated sex abuser, and pathological liar.

A man who fits the Biblical descriptions of the anti-Christ as if they were written just for him.

Jesus himself was pilloried as a wine-bibber who associated with women, tax collectors and other assorted supposed nogoodniks in Israel... sorta like drag artists and dancers.

As he himself said, it's the Hypocrites who are the real sinners.

It reads like a non-apology for what looks like a very deliberate parody of The Last Supper. Apparently some people can't help but be bigoted but in the interest of the Olympics I'm going to not think about that crap anymore and focus on things that matter. Like badminton LOL

Not what they called it.

If it wasn't obvious there would have been no non apology.

Yeah. CNN, Washington Post and The New Republic apparently are all fake news sources when they report contemporaneously and later their reporting is problematic for the regime.

So, apparently this site is just a----------- left wing bubble.

That's so ... .intellectually honest.

The moderation and editorial decisions are reaching the point of cowardice.

I'm sure the French are very upset that their world-famous art and culture are not appreciated by US conservatives who just 10 days ago displayed their own cultural finest: Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, Amber Rose & their Jesus: a convicted felon who cheated on his wife with a porn star

Congrats!

You just proved Christianity is fake and stole everything from prior religions like the Greek pantheism.

Of course Jesus wasn't as fun as Dionysus so he didn't have nearly as many friends at his dinner parties. Poor dude could only scrounge up 12 and one was trying to kill him. But since when could the crazy home schooled kids count?

BTW, it's not called Le cene sur la scene sur la seine to mock Christianity, idiots. It's called that because Le Cene, La Scne, and la Seine are all pronounced exactly the same in French. Le dernier souper doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I'll take you seriously when you start freaking out about the pictures of Trump being depicted as Jesus on the cross.

Chill the eff out. I simply point d out that nobody is buying the excuse that they didn't seek to offend.

I didn't even watch the ceremony. When I have time I will certainly watch the competitions.

People who weren't homeschooled on Blue's Clues and paint chips know it wasn't meant to offend.

But be the victim as usual.

"People who weren't homeschooled on Blue's Clues and paint chips know it wasn't meant to offend."

The very foundation of the entire problem is that you (liberals) can't accept this SAME EXACT response to anyone not on your side who says anything. Every sane person knows that most people who have been canceled over woke issues never meant to offend anyone, most recently the Olympics announcer who mentioned girls doing makeup (which made Gauff's statement about the crowding of women's facilities and having 11 girls and 2 bathrooms made it take a long time to do hair and makeup so she was proving the announcer correct)...but woke people didn't care. They IMMEDIATELY went into defensive mode and chastised the guy as if he meant to offend the entire world, and then canceled him. And, just like your statement above, any person with an IQ over 10 and not raised on paint chips would know he didn't mean to offend anyone.

So, either fight the hypocrisy and be one of the good guys are continue down your hypocritical lane and devolving our world 1 quote at a time.

Jesus Christ (pardon the pun), you right wingers always have something to whine about, don't you? Even if you have to make it up.

If you can't pout and play the victim, you don't know what to do with yourself. Everything is about rage and the big meanies hurting your little feefees. Just be quiet and eat your mac & cheese in your highchair while the adults are talking.

Yep that's the AP saying that it did resemble the well known painting.

Anything you say.

Are you offended with every last supper related depiction? Just curious. I've even seen a Simpsons one. You must be boycotting them now too?

Doesn't every dinner with everyone seated on one side of the table resemble the well known painting?

talk to an expert they would love to educate you on all the overlap.

Much of the Renaissance art would never had happened if these knuckle dragging right wing MAGATS were around at that time. Jesus would have been incarcerated
as a vagrant and then deported to boot.

I watched the entire opening ceremony. It was very French. Drenched in French culture history and art. Which was heavily influenced by Greek Culture. I accepted it for exactly what it was and was not offended in the least. It was a French vision of art. Which is always a little weird. Or should I say different from the American consent of art. It gave a real sense of the French culture. And I really enjoyed the Cancan girls!

Not surprised that Christians would be offended. They are offended by everything not in line with their beliefs.

And Christians love being the victims.

Just as they love offending others who do not share their faith.

I feel so bad for them!

Not.

The more power the left gets the more of this anti-values stuff that will be shoved down our throat. Just saying this is a sad example of the need to be wary.

The Olympics commentator was fired by his employer before anyone even had a chance to "cancel" him. It was a really stupid thing to say.

The opening ceremony controversy however was just a fringe group of people choosing to be offended.

Meh.

Most MATAts couldn't spell Greek Mythology (which is what it was based on)
