Celebs are currently flocking to the Olympic Games, enjoying some of the best athletes in the world out in Paris. However, that won't include Rob Schneider for a specific reason. The former SNL star took to X, voicing his disapproval at what recently took place during the opening ceremony, with an attempt being made to mimic Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper."
Schneider reacted, “I am sorry to say to all the world’s greatest athletes, I wish you all the best, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan. I sincerely hope these Olympics get the same amount of viewers as CSPAN.”
He continued in a separate tweet, “Guys with their genitalia hanging out in front of children?! Drag Queens?! I wasn’t sure if I was watching the Olympics or if I was watching a school board meeting…”

Schneider wasn't the only one for the Hollywood realm that took exception. Candace Cameron Bure also voiced her displeasure:
“To watch such an incredible and wonderful event that’s gonna take place over the next two weeks and see the opening ceremonies completely blaspheme and mock the Christian faith with their interpretation of the Last Supper was disgusting."
She continued, "And it made me so sad. And someone said, ‘You shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it.’ And I’m like, ‘Trust me. It makes me mad.’ But I’m more sad, because I’m sad for souls.”
