Rob Schneider Boycotts Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony
News summary

Rob Schneider has announced he will boycott the Paris 2024 Olympics, criticizing the opening ceremony for what he perceives as a disrespectful portrayal of Christianity involving a drag performance inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s 'The Last Supper.' In his posts on X, he expressed dismay at the depiction of drag queens and provocative imagery, questioning the suitability of such content for children's viewing. The Paris Olympics organizers have defended the performance as an artistic interpretation involving themes of absurdity and festivity, but they apologized to those who felt offended. Schneider's sentiments were echoed by various religious conservatives, including the French Catholic Church and figures like Donald Trump Jr., who labeled the performance as 'satanic.' The backlash has sparked a broader debate about artistic expression versus respect for religious sentiments, with some LGBTQ+ advocates also criticizing the segment for its implications on community relations. Overall, the controversy highlights the cultural tensions surrounding inclusivity and respect in contemporary society.
