No medal for NBA Olympic team

[GannonFan]

So you're saying that the person who included this in the opening ceremonies was trying to recreate a Dutch painter's version of the Greek Gods, and the Dutch guy in turn was probably heavily influenced by Da Vinci's work from a century earlier and could actually have been using the veneer of the Greek gods while actually trying to be recreating the Last Supper. But Christians out there who took offense to this are way off base in thinking this was, intentional or not, an allusion to the Last Supper?

So you’re implying that the person who included this in the opening ceremonies was secretively trying to reclaim DaVinci for what happened during the reformation? Christian’s should be elated!

I'm not implying that at all. I'm not implying that the artistic director knew any of the information you provided. I'm just simply acknowledging the information that you brought up that connecting what was done in the Opening Ceremonies could, by a reasonable person (or a crazy Christian), conceivably be connected to the Last Supper because of the obvious similarities.

I’m fine with that. It’s the right wing gaslighting which preceded the left wing reaction to it that I was replying to. Not everything is Christian centric.

It’s not a big deal to any reasonable person. You do you, France. Being offended by art is a choice.

I agree. The issue is that real Christian’s are either a small minority or they are mostly silent on these cultural issues.

Just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and they mocked Muslims… people would die for that

Yep. The muslim crazies would Charlie Hebdo your ass…

I don't have any stake in this fight, but I don't get it where people are now saying there was no connection to the Last Supper in the start to that segment. I remember watching it in real time and the first thing I thought "hmm, Last Supper". Whether it was intentional or not, whether it was done as parody or not, I don't think there's anyway that someone could honestly say that didn't look like the Last Supper. To me, that's a perfect example of gaslighting. "No, silly, that's not the Last Supper, you don't know what you're looking at". And to me, even if it was done as parody, I'm fine with that. As the artist said, it was supposed to be about liberty and the freedom of expression, which to me, even a parody would be. But let's not pretend the thing didn't look like the Last Supper when it clearly did.

This

Pure mockery on the World Stage

Who was the journalist that got killed for mocking Muslims a few years ago with a lampoon in a newspaper, which is hardly the scale of the Olympics

I’m not personally triggered by it either but it is what it is

I wasn’t keeping up. I answered before I saw your post. Charlie Hebdo, French satirical weekly magazine. 2015 Muslim crazzies with AK’s went all ‘Allah Akhbar’ killing a slew of people at Chalie Hebdo’s HQ and a Jewish supermarket in France because Charlie Hebdo magazine cartoons had made fun of Muhammad. Charlie Hebdo’s HQ also got firebombed by muslim crazies in 2012 for…making fun of Muhammad.

I know Christians are getting bent out of shape over a bunch of fags prancing around mocking the Last Supper, but no one has to worry about firebombings over this or someone bursting into the office of the production company that put this on spraying gunfire at people while shouting ‘praise Jesus’..

What else do MAQA yahoos and "Muslim crazzies" have in common?

So they have "getting bent out of shape" over silly things like a bunch of snowflakes in common. They don't have in common the level of violence they resort to in response.

Fags? I didn't see it but I didn't hear about any cigarette costumes.

Or do you mean gay? Are you absolutely certain they were gay? They could have been actors/performers playing a role. I thought we were supposed to be more discerning in our name calling/comparisons. Wouldn't want anyone to get shot at because you called them a fag (or Hitler).

I know Christians are getting bent out right of shape over a bunch of fags prancing around mocking the Last Supper, but no one has to worry about firebombings over this or someone bursting into the office of the production company that put this on spraying gunfire at people while shouting ‘praise Jesus’..

Exactly right and thanks for the recap

Kalmrade, you have to be on medication. Consult with your Dr.

Not every one can stare reason and facts in the face and unequivocally deny both so kudos in your ability to do this.

Some guys on here are so outraged by Jesus

They act like the next Marxist President Kruelmela De Viel
is going to invent a Christianity vaccine and make it mandatory for them or else they lose their jobs

Some guys on here are so outraged by gays, people of color, books about them, shows with them, anything that acknowledges their existence as humans.

They act like the next Fascist President donito mousewienie trump
is going to invent a gay vaccine and put the people of color back in their place or else they'll burn crosses in their lawn before lynching them.

You might have drank the qanon qult qoolaid if you can't see the parallels.

Speaking for just for myself, as a non-Christian I have zero issue with Jesus and his messages of love, kindness, and taking care of the needy.

To paraphrase Ghandi, it’s some of your Christian’s…

Whatever happened to th le good ol days of the athletes simply marching into the stadium with their respective nation’s flags, waving at the crowd, someone jogging in with the torch, lighting the flame, and that was it. No controversy, everyone happy.

Bobcunt.


She's 27 and she's going to bring home the Gold and we'll all have another good laugh on you

If she doesn't quit in the middle like last time. Fuck her, shes a weak pawn

oh my goodness.....this didn't age well at all...

Or to phrase it differently, the greatest woman gymnast of all time. Tomato, tomato.

Sure, just like the greatest basketball player of all time is LeFlop.

[houndawg]

Clearly MJ is the best basketball player of all time. Who would you put up as the best female gymnast of all time?

Not a quitter. I digress, I don't watch womens sports. Its just not watchable from an athletic standpoint. Its like thinking RC cola can compete with Coke.

...it's clear you don't watch much gymanastics..

[houndawg]

Shes a quitter, that right there leaves her off any real list. Same with Bonds. You do you its a semi free country
