Thousands of social media users have threatened to boycott the nascent Paris Olympics after its opening ceremony was widely panned on Friday.
Enraged viewers took to X where #boycottOlympics and #boycottParis2024 were seen trending over the course of the following day.
In particular, the appearance of a 'naked blue man' among a scene likened to the Last Supper angered many watching, especially Christians.
One wrote: 'What a disgraceful opening to the 2024 Olympics #BoycottOlympics.'
Another declared they 'didn't even care about the Olympics' but were now '100 per cent boycotting'.
'Why on earth would anyone push so much to offend as many Christians as possible? It’s insane that this kind of "show" even passed proposal stage. #BoycottOlympics.
'Respect Jesus Christ and reject any mockery of Jesus' Last Supper. Retweet if you stand with #BoycottOlympics.
'The spectacle was despicable, offensive and extremely vile. #BoycottOlympics #BoycottParis2024.
'Will this be the first Olympics that never was? Who will be the first country brave enough to boycott? Fingers crossed #BoycottOlympics.'

Thousands?
Never had any intention of viewing any of it. Haven’t seen any since probably last century.
They lost my support when they overlooked qualified people to get their DEI choice to compete. It’s NOT about sports, it’s about pushing an agenda. I was in Puebla, Mexico, and I made a CHOICE, not to sit in front of a TV and watch the exercises of the Olympic. This was a good choice. I did not see it and I was not offended.
I don’t have a lot of room in my life for sports so I didn’t plan on watching anyway. The opening blasphemy solidified my resolve.
It’s a long time until the last day of the Summer Olympics 2024, August 11th. We will see if any substantial boycotting happens.
I’m not “threatening not to watch,” I am actively NOT WATCHING. I didn’t plan to in the first place, but that display of vile behavior sealed the deal.
Olympics? What Olympics? Is that going on this year?
I am protesting outside of the French embassy for mocking Jesus during the Olympic ceremony.
The police are threatening to arrest me for unlawful assembly.
I am currently on bail, and will face a minimum 3 months in prison.
I do this as a Muslim.

The Pedo-lympics should self-destruct. Their “apology “ was your typical lefty blaming those who criticize their insanity.
Well the NBC coverage sucks anyways...
Watch? I don’t even have a TV or a live streaming internet package.

The Olympics used to be family friendly. A competition of the world’s best athletes.
Now it is woke like everything else.
I hope NBC loses their a$$ on this one.
Won’t watch.
And how many MILLIONS won’t watch, without broadcasting their ‘threat to not watch’ on social media?
More like tens of thousands.
I’ve got no sympathy for anyone that sends money to teevee companies every month to have crap pumped into their living room.
I have to be honest…anyone who works for a living, has almost no time during the work week to waste 2 hours each night on highlights. Especially after dinner and hanging with the kids.
Further, if you are REALLY interested in the semis of Synchronized Swimming, you can stream the 7 minutes online.
I don’t know who is their audience.
It could be hundreds of thousands and the media will soft pedal it.
I didn’t plan to watch it anyway.
