When I called the phone number, they gave me an email address instead: pressoffice@olympics.org. I don’t know what that’s about, but the lady that answered seemed to know why I was calling before I said a thing. Maybe her English wasn’t so good, or she felt it wasn’t and would rather direct me this way? Who knows? It is so easy to find excuses to do nothing.
“To the attention of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)
We, the undersigned, strongly denounce the outrageous and blasphemous nature of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Olympic opening ceremony included a scandalous parody of the Last Supper, a sacred moment for Christians around the world. This mocking and obscene depiction, seen by hundreds of millions of people, is deeply offensive, especially to Christians.
Such a deliberately sacrilegious message has nothing to do with sport, nothing to do with France, and certainly nothing to do with the Olympic Games.
It’s a hijacking of the opening ceremony for anti-Christian and woke propaganda purposes.
By staging this grotesque parody, the organizers have gravely offended Christians the world over and contravened the Olympic Charter, which forbids all religious and political propaganda within the framework of the Olympic Games. The organizers would never have dared to parody the symbols and events of other religions. This attack on Christians is unacceptable and goes against the principles of respect for religious beliefs promoted by the IOC.
The International Olympic Committee cannot at the same time advocate respect for all religious beliefs and tolerate such a ceremony that seriously offends Christians.
We demand a public and solemn apology from the organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympics for this grave offense, and not just vague justifications.
We demand that regulatory measures be taken to ensure that such scandals do not occur again. The IOC must check the content of the ceremonies in advance to verify, before they are held, that they comply with its regulations and values.
Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world; don’t participate in the trivialization of Christians’ harassment.”
Or you can do nothing and justify your apathy as the world burns…
I just got the failed delivery notification on pressoffice@olympics.org, so it must be the one without the ‘s’. Once again, if you want to send an email, pressoffice@olympic.org seems to be the one that works.
Just to say, there are a few things that rub: 1. Wasn’t it Leonardo da Vinci’s painting that was mocked? Do I really care? I mean, it’s not the Bible. I’d rather fight over their use of the rainbow. 2. And then people warned, “They wouldn’t have done that toward muslims.” So, what does that mean? Watch out or we’ll kill you like a muslim would?
Are we not blessed when the wicked curse us? Matthew 5:11-12. I have heard there was quite the worship gathering outside the olympic competition stadium.
Write or don’t write, either way it’s your heart that matters to God. If you do, I say (as if what I say matters), write with a heart for the lost. Treat others as you want to be treated, Luke 6:31.
If you don’t, don’t make it an issue of self-righteousness. Your reward is in heaven, 1 Corinthians 3:11-12.

There seems to be a discussion over the email: pressoffice@olympics.org, or pressoffice@olympic.org The only response is to send your email to both?
