C Spire pulls advertising from Paris Olympics after ‘mockery’ of Christianity in opening ceremony

C Spire, a Mississippi-based telecommunications and technology company with a significant presence in Alabama, announced it will pull all of its advertising from the 2024 Olympics Games in Paris after a blasphemous representation of the Last Supper was prominently featured in the opening ceremony.

C Spire, the nation’s largest privately-owned wireless carrier, has invested $500 million in expanding fiber infrastructure across Alabama in the past three years alone.

In Paris at the opening ceremony, the four-hour spectacle held along the Seine River featured performances by celebrities including Celine Dion and Lady Gaga — but was overshadowed by a grotesque imitation of “The Last Supper,” a painting by Leonardo DaVinci that depicts the last meal Jesus had with his apostles.

Alabama Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth also characterized the performance as mockery. “The Olympics are meant to bring together people of all nations, races, and religions, but the opening ceremony in Paris featured a parody of Christ’s Last Supper with drag queens and promoted the LGBTQ agenda,” Ainsworth said.

“I changed the channel and watched a hunting show on TV instead. Nonetheless, I continue to support Team USA’s pursuit of gold.”
