PARIS 2024: Surfer’s Board Rules & Opening Ceremonies Show MASSIVE Double-Standard

The tepid Olympics Committee apology after Opening Ceremonies shown a lie by this ruling

A mocking portrayal of Christianity’s greatest sacrament? No big deal. But bringing a positive religious symbol to The Games? How DARE you!

You might be good enough to compete in these vaunted games, but your surfboard is not. Not even when that positive religious image on your board is an honest-to-God national landmark.

João Chianc is a 23-year-old surfer. He’s come to France representing Brazil. One of the most famous landmarks in Brazil is the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer.

Can you guess what this Brazillian surfer has displayed on his surfboard?

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

That’s right, a stylized version of that exact statue. And the Olympic Committee rules nerds ain’t happy about it.

23-year-old João Chianca apparently informed his followers on his Instagram account recently that the Olympics demanded he remove the image or else he would not be allowed to participate.

“Just received the news that [the] painting is not authorized at the Olympic Games because Christ is a religious figure, and the Games have strict rules and focus on total neutrality,” he allegedly said in a since-deleted post, according to The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Dan Walsh.

Article 50 of the Olympic Charter says “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.” — LifeSite

Right. We’re supposed to buy an ‘Article 50’ explanation.

Sure. Just like we were supposed to buy the explanation behind the Opening Ceremony NOT being deliberately hostile to Christians… but rather, a nod to the Bacchanalian small-g god of Greek mythology.

Nice try. There’s just one small problem with that explanation. It’s a demonstrable lie.

A more plausible explanation is that the gatekeepers of this ‘vaunted’ institution are so ideologically inbred that even the idea that one of their competitors might be a Christian gives them the vapors.
