Olympics 2024 opening ceremony kicks off games in Paris

The Olympic games officially got underway Friday in Paris, with an opening ceremony that was the first of its kind.

Rather than the usual parade of nations unfolding inside a single major venue, athletes from around the world sailed through the city on the Seine River.

Global's Crystal Goomansingh is in Paris with more.

Thats funny how media is trying to portray is as the best thing ever, but the people who actually watched the whole thing say how horrible it was. All we need to know about the media and propaganda these days smh

[hectorcruces]

That was by far the worst opening ceremony in the history of the Olympics.

Worst and most disgusting Olympic opening ceremony in history

[ppyxrrr]

Французы, где ваша утанченность, ваш элегантность, шарм???? Боже какая трагедия для мира, мы потеряли Францию😢😢😢. Спасибо, что Россия в этом не участвует.

As a french man living in France i apologize for this woke / LGBTQ propaganda from the opening ceremony.... I'm truly ashamed of what became my

[lichade]

Not only was the ceremony bad, they rose the Olympic flag upside down 😂

[bobbub]

Most disgusting opening ever. The French Olympics are already a complete fiasco.

[Field_Marshall]

Olympic Ceremony was a total disgrace to history. France 🇫🇷 should be banned from hosting future Olympic Games

Think of the 2014 Olympic Games in Russia - celebrations, ballet, performances, beautiful music. It was a bastion of traditional values. And what's happening in the video is a cancer of humanity

Why are you not reporting about the mockery they did with the “last supper”?
Be transparent, not a slave to your ad daddys

[ПенчоПенчев-кж]

Didn't like this opening nothing to do with sport it was nonsense visuals and they were trying to mock the religion and the philosophy. Shame on France

[visualprowess]

This ceremony mocked the one true king our lord Jesus Christ.

[shehaamseboa]

BY THE WAY..HOW DARE YOU INTRODUCE SOUTH KOREA AS NORTH KOREA?? SERIOUSLY???

[jolantowh]

Если бы они высмеяли ислам, то Франция сегодня бы горела.

[souzanamartinov]

The worst ever opening, shame for France !

[DeViLzzz]

Anti-Christian, depraved, sickening, etc.

[DeltaH-]

The opening ceremony was disgusting... mocking the last supper with draq queens.

[creative-renaissance]

The ceremony was a cross between a gay pride march and X factor
The Audio was terrible
The whole ceremony was a complete disaster.

[bvictoria]

Damn disgrace. SICKENING! Im boycotting it.

For those of you wondering why the comments are a bit sour. Its because they didnt mention the drag queens portraying their version of the last super by Michael D'Angelo. Its a widespread offensive against Christianity. The opening ceremony also had nothing to do with the athletes. Unfortunately the gay pride was the main focus. Ill admit, its really sad the main people we were to celebrate and cheer for wasnt on the spotlight.
