Saturday Night Live alum Rob Schneider is boycotting the ongoing Paris Olympics over a controversial opening ceremony that he sees as Satanic display that 'disrespects Christianity.'

'I am sorry to say to ALL the world's GREATEST ATHLETES, I wish you ALL THE BEST, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan,' the 60-year-old wrote on X.

Paris Olympics organizers apologized to anyone who was offended by a tableau that evoked Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' during the glamorous opening ceremony, but defended the concept behind it Sunday.

But the fake Olympics apologized to those offended by religious bigotry and perversion They were sorry for getting caught

I do not know if it is true or not, but the man who brought back these games did it in order to bring back paganism.

[frogjerk]

I’m not so sure about that. Paganism has always been here and always will be. It is on the rise lately due to the failings of first and foremost - Parents.

+1 Rob. I’ve got plenty of other things more productive to occupy my time.

What’s the closing ceremony gonna be......human sacrifice?

One thing for sure, I won’t be watching that crap either.

The ceremony's artistic director Thomas Jolly had distanced his scene from any 'Last Supper' parallels after the ceremony, saying it was meant to celebrate diversity and pay tribute to feasting and French gastronomy

Except the central figure has a sort of radiant halo surrounding its head. I kinda think that's a clue.

Rob needs to take more public stances especially in the next 4 months. He’s good. A 2 hour interview with Glenn Beck showed his depth.

I haven't watched a single minute of Olympics yet so far. It wasn't an intentional boycott, but now I'll be happy to make it one.

He's been busy. Just a couple of months ago he helped our church raise a lot of money for a larger building at a golf tournament.

Are the Olympics going on now?

Deuce Bigalow: I’m sorry?

Acting!

And that is the world that Nikky Haley wants to send you and your kids to fight and die to defend.

We are 98 days away from the election.

4 months? Series?

Get it in gear.

it is planned, they offend disrespect and then apologize but, its out there, they accomplished what they intended

It was one of those "non-apology" apologies. Sorry, if anyone was offended. Means, not sorry for what we did, only if it offended some people. And, even then, I doubt they are sorry that they offended some people. Look at what they did! It was MEANT to be offensive. That was the point.

[Tommy Revolts]

I have not watched one second of it!
