2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony
[2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony controversy, Muslim UFC fighters, Ryan Garcia and others]
Fighting sports stars such as Islam Makachev and Ryan Garcia expressed their anger at the controversial opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The opening ceremony featured a parody of "The Last Supper" performed by drag queens and dancers.
The sight of the singer lying on the table in blue paint and sparkling costumes was reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper," and on the ensuing runway, drag queens and models performed a performance celebrating Paris' fashion culture.
Many argue that these themes advocate for self-expression and challenge traditional gender roles. However, others criticized the opening scenes for being contrary to conservative values and the traditional dignity of the Olympics.
UFC lightweight champion Islam Makachev wrote, "The Paris Olympics are disgraceful and have left a dark stain on the Olympic spirit. We need to bring the Olympics back to Russia to get everything right."
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland wrote, "I don't know why everyone is mad at the Olympics. Everyone knows that France loves to take a knee."
Meanwhile, controversial influencer Andrew Tate interpreted it as an attempt to promote an agenda that deviated from gender stereotypes. He insisted, "Isn't the Olympics about effort and discipline? The West never misses a chance to prove they are gay. In every cultural event, they promote homosexuality."
Boxing star Ryan Garcia called for a boycott of the Olympics and shouted, "Let's boycott the Olympics, which is in disrespect of Jesus Christ."
