We are sorry if someone was offended isn't an apology, it is another insult
-
I'm a non Christian and I'm offended at how atrocious that performance was. It was an insult to all the athletes who worked hard for the sport. I'd recommend all Christians or anyone from a respectable religion to NOT support the Paris Olympics financially in any way. Money is the best feedback mechanism.
-
It's intentional. Every Christian should boycott the Paris Olympics! Nonsense!!!!!!
-
"I'm sorry you were offended" is not an apology.
-
Boycott the Olympics. Don’t watch it. Let’s the sponsors get pissed at the IOC.
-
They dont understand the meaning of tolerance and values they are talking about. That frenchie is not even apologizing. Its intentional and they don't feel sorry at all. Unbelievable!! #nomoreolympics

Judgment is coming. You cannot mock God.
-
Really!? Why didn’t you represent as well the faith! Let us see what will happen. The Olympics supposed to show sportsmanship and national pride! Not wokeness!
-
The people used in the woke opening ceremony , was a insult to Christians, but also to the Olympic participants, because of the absolute lack of respect for the athleticism and good health . Just plain ugly in every way . I felt slimed by looking at it . I just couldnt look anymore.
-
This ceremony was being presented to the world. How about respect for your global audience?
-
Even the so called appology is as disgusting as the ceremony . Shame on rhem
-
Shame on you France, shame on you Paris
-
Where was the apology?
-
To little to late you are trying so hard to defend your discusting opening, well stick your games we will boycot.
-
The outrage was not just from the Catholic Church and the "Religious Right in America." The was panned by all decent people all across the globe. Such contemptible arrogance.
-
The ceremony was not inclusive it excluded Christians. Worse opening ceremony ever! What a waste of money, how many families could have been fed?
-
Disgusting and blasphemous
-
Well if it was meant to “celebrate” religion let’s “celebrate” Islam the same way…
-
Everyone who is a part of the Olympics should pack their shit and refuse to take part.And force the hand to do it elsewhere.
-
Liars. All lies. Knew exactly what they were doing.
