Bigger freak show than Eurovision. A vomit inducing swathe of wokeness.

It was a great gay parade, although it's not clear what the athletes were doing there and why there were rings on the flag.

The Paris Olympics took care of everyone's feelings, except for the feelings of normal people.

Its not about our athletes. Its about LGBQ PRIDE. THEY REALY SHOVELING IT DOWN OUR THROAT

My grandfather is 92 years old and he confirmed it was the worst olympics opening since he got his first TV in 60s lol

as a Russian, I am happy that my country is not taking part in this circus.

When are designers going to realize that the whole Gay-Drag thing is no longer shocking - its just boring and cliche.

This is the worst opening ceremony I have seen ever

[SFphotopince]

I found this Olympic ceremony to be utterly unprepared, cheap, anti-Christian, and disrespectful. It was even shocking to hear South Korea being called North Korea

Our Motherland Russia was banned from this...event.
I thought it was a discrimination, but it was actually a blessing.🤣

Next time come to our World Friendship Games, guys. It will be fun!❤🤝

It was the worst Olympic opening ceremony ever. They misintroduced the name of the country. Also, the Olympic flag was raised upside down. It's so bizarre and promiscuous.

Is it Pride? All this has nothing to do with sports and the Olympics. 0% respect, 100% humiliation. Athletes will compete to see who is the bigger freak? 😐

France has almost 70 million population. And is this the best you can show to the world?

[danielanthony]

Who in charge thought it would be a good idea to insult 2.6 billion people

[Leboug]

i am french and i want to sincerely apologise

[uhzwfvp]

Russia protected their players. Literally.

Древние греки переворачиваясь в гробу изобрели реактор от такого шоу 😂

Today will be remembered as the fall of France. This is on you, French people.

Worst opening Olympic Ceremony Ever, actually worst opening ceremony of any type ever. Now I understand why my ancestors moved out of France.
