News summary

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker criticized the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony for featuring drag queens in a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper.' Butker expressed his disapproval on social media, quoting Bible verses and calling the performance 'crazy.' The segment, meant as an interpretation of the Greek god Dionysus, received backlash from religious and social media communities, with Butker's comments echoing sentiments from French and American bishops who also condemned the act. The ceremony's creative director, Thomas Jolly, defended the performance, stating it aimed to challenge clichés and celebrate diversity. Butker, known for his outspoken religious beliefs, had previously stirred controversy with a commencement speech promoting traditional gender roles.
