Paul Murray reacts to ‘cooky’ Paris Olympics opening ceremony

Sky News host Paul Murray reacts to the “cooky” Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

Paris 2024 Summer Olympics organisers issued an apology following backlash over religious depictions during the opening ceremony on Friday.

The opening ceremony also featured a headless Marie Antoinette.

They don’t want to include/promote anyone; they just want to destroy Christ.

What an absolute disgrace, the opening ceremony of the olympics 🤮🤮🤮

[alanw]

Worst Olympic opening ceremony in the past 48 years. It's a sporting event, not a gay promotion or an avenue to make a mockery of religion.

[eb]

It was an absolutely vile and blasphemous assault upon Christianity, its moral teachings, and its adherents, Paul.

[neverlate]

After the opening ceremony I'm done with the Olympics. It needs to be done away with.

[kidsoxoxox]

Waste of my taxes. If you are so keen on it then you pay for their own flights and accommodation.

[paulveenings]

The Paris Olympics will go down as the most anti Christian Olympics ever.

[janicedenisar]

Not watching. Athletes need to kick out. The Committee

[chrisdickinson]

Not only was it about mocking Christianity but also about continuing to destroy our Western Democratic values, customs, creed & culture all built upon & supported by Christianity
I am not a Christian, but I do support Its values & the various society's it has helped to create over the Century's. I support the beliefs & practices of Jesus, rather than Mohomed's
A choice, it appears, each of us will inevitable & unfortunately have to make. Hopefully before it is made for us !

[apolloxiii]

As a Christian i'm gonna watch the Olympics and boycot every advertiser I see.

[martinlazar]

Boycot the Olympics 2024, if anyone has any moral value. Noone gives a fk who won by 0, 5s a stupid race. The Olympics vibe is lost already.

[Samurai]

Who cares. After that opening ceremony it is totally irrelevant.

[thomaszanzal]

Paul passes over the real controversy.

[chpsk]

Could the 'Organisers' please explain to the bourgeoisie, why a woke Olympics was so boringly mandatory and predictable??

[NP-vkde]

Is that the best you can do? Don’t quit your day job.

[tejcslr]

It was blatant and deliberate. The Olympic committee knew people would be offended but didn't care.

[Theaddora]

I can't believe anybody is watching that freak show after the performance they put on the opening night!!

[nicethings]

They could have saved all that money, and had East 17 performing.

[goodlookingman]

I saw just a bit of the opening ceremony and the promotion of woke ideology will keep me from watching any of it

Medal tables🏅 are bullsh#t - like how does it represent per capita spend on sports. Aussie taxpayers do contribute to these Aussie sports hero’s so we can claim that they are ours!
