24 hours later and all people still talk about is those 20 minutes of debauchery in a 4 hour event.
Catastrophic error in judgment that eclipses the entire thing.
Okay here's the Olympics:
You know they’re not depicting the last supper right?

Feast of Dionysus .. who do you think the person is blue is meant to be if its the last supper
Feast of Dionysus paintings are about Olympian gods indulging in food , wine and sex etcc .. seems fine for the Olympics

Given the historical theme, and given that it's Greek (Olympics), and given that half naked grapist Bacchus/Dionysus was there, I'd presume it's referencing Bacchanal, the Greek wine festival of plenty.

Feels like a motte-and-bailey to me. The Last Supper is one of the most famous (and most often referenced) pieces of art in the world. There's no way they didn't see the parallels when planning and staging it, considering so many immediately thought of that during the ceremony. I think they're just trying to cover their tracks in the midst of a huge backlash.

How can I watch the Olympics in the US? I remember last Olympics, the NBC app had all of the different sports listed and you could just click one and you’d be able to watch the VODs or live broadcasts.
Edit: Looks like it’s the peacock app. And you need a subscription to the streaming service even if you already pay for cable.

The queer crowd mocking Christians is a recurrent topic in Europe. In France and Spain is non-stop and there's no fucking way in hell this isn't representing the Last Supper.
They are so brave. Next time they should mock Muhammad and see what happens.

What if they are Christians and this is just a reference and not mocking? Do we know who planned the ceremony?

What if they are reptilians and know nothing about our culture? Nope, they know full well what they are doing, I can tell because it's the same in my country every year in holy festivities.
France is an officially laic country, so there's no place for official religious acts unless it's in the shape of vile mockery as in this case.
Look, I don't care about any religion but I respect people's beliefs, this is just disgusting and they do it to cater to the laicist crowd, which has become even more annoying than the ancient cultists.

The Chinese divers are insane.
I wonder if GB could have won if Lee had been there? Williams is a fantastic diver, and to do that at such short notice is incredible, but he was the one making mistakes.
That's so heartbreaking.
I hate the BBC. So much pointless talking instead of showing the event. I've had to sign up for Discovery+ to watch the entire event because the BBCs output is just ridiculous. Missed out on so many good events already because of it.
