The motivation was hardly to appease Muslims, who have no special antipathy toward the Last Supper anyway.

It was a ‘sorry if you’re offended but it achieved our goals’. So a non-apology apology.

It wasn’t inclusive to show hateful bigotry towards billions of people and mock their religion.

If you can’t beat Islam, join them and become a terrorist.

Great idea!

“The motivation was hardly to appease Muslims, who have no special antipathy toward the Last Supper anyway.”

Talking about the radical Muslims. And therefore, I disagree.

Reminds me of that South Park episodes where the oil company was apologizing for drilling into another dimension

So very true! I for one am so tired of turning the other cheek! When do we get to the point of repaying instead of refraining? As a country, we are going down so fast kinda reminds me of Germany before WW2.

They are basically blaming those that are offended and excusing themselves by asking “how could we have known people would have been offended?”

Don’t let them fool you. They knew what they were doing. Olympic opening ceremonies are not put together on the fly. This was planned for several years and those participating were asked to join in this world-wide production of sexual deviancy and depravity. The organizers actually looked for trans-GIBLETS to participate in the production.

I haven’t watched a bit of the Olympics this year having read that trans were going to be allowed to pretend so they could take the most medal. After seeing a couple of clips of the opening ceremony on social media, I quickly realized I had made the correct decision.

I refuse to even root for U.S. teams. They chose to go even knowing the anti-Christian theme of the games. I can’t support it. I refuse to do so.

They had no idea this would be offensive. The apology means nothing!

Are they sorry because Iran is mad at France & France is afraid of them? I can’t imagine they are scared of the Christian’s wrath.

They did NOT say they were sorry.

They said they were sorry IF ANYONE TOOK OFFENSE.

After you go out of your way to offend, you need to do better than that.

No they follow the play book, put it out there and then back track but the message is out there and they are successful and that was thier intent. Just when we all thought the members of the fake phoney EU were starting to row some balls
