The 2024 Summer Olympic Games are underway in Paris, France, right now.
The highly anticipated event is finally here, but it’s been heavily criticized due to a controversial segment from Friday’s opening ceremony. A certain performance featured drag queens who appeared to parody “The Last Supper” from the Bible, something which has angered religious folk to no end.
One such person is former NFL quarterback Luke McCown, who made his feelings clear in a lengthy tweet after catching wind of the controversial segment.
“Won’t repost the filth from the Olympics.. Disappointed but not surprised…not sure why it’s a part of the event,” he wrote in a tweet, going on to detail the death of Jesus Christ.
“Also…. Folks c’mon stop reposting it.. find a way to turn the attention from the filth that mocked Jesus to Jesus himself,” he added in another tweet. “Lots of Christian’s talking about it right now.. here’s the chance… tell someone what the last supper was really about and what it really led to.”
The Olympic Games’ official X/Twitter account described the segment as an “interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.”
Luke McCown Was Just One Of Several NFL Players To Lash Out At The Olympic Games
Luke McCown, the younger brother of another former NFL quarterback, Josh McCown, is one of several players, past and present, to hit out at the games.
Most notably, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker also condemned the segment in passionate social media posts. Another former signal-caller, Brady Quinn, retweeted McCown’s tweet.
Luke was in the NFL for 10 years, playing for the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, and Cleveland Browns. He played 62 games, starting 10, and finishing his career with 2,370 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and 15 interceptions.
