France Shows the World How to Ruin the Olympics

The Spectator  

Macron’s France is an aberration and an embarrassment to the West, but, above all, like any woke beacon, it is an immense imposture. 


"There aren’t many prestigious and popular institutions left capable of uniting the whole world regardless of ideologies, race, nation, or religion. Until Paris 2024, the Olympic Games used to be one of them. Not anymore.

"Let me give you two images. One is the blasphemous inauguration with transvestites mocking the Last Supper. Another is the Italian boxer Angela Carini crying after receiving a brutal beating in 46 seconds at the hands of a boxer recognized as “intersex,” that is, she was born with female genitalia but with XY chromosomes and in tests gave male testosterone levels. She is participating among women in the Olympic Games because, according to the IOC, “she has the right to practice sport without discrimination.” Everything, absolutely everything, is wrong at the Olympic Games in France. (WATCH: The Spectator P.M.

"The blasphemous inauguration was not intended to offend anyone, the organization assures. The truth is that it offended everyone. Christians for the blasphemy, and everyone else, for the sordid and ugly spectacle. As if that were not enough, it included a typically woke vindication of transsexualism, the movement that has put an end to women for once and for all, with enthusiastic support from queer feminists. I’ve written it before: If anyone can be a woman, being a woman means absolutely nothing. That male victory is superior to that of any machismo you can imagine, but since it’s championed by the woke left, criticizing it makes you a target for cancellation.

The IOC Is More Concerned About Inclusivity Than Safety

"The case of the intersex boxer is dramatic and scandalous, not because she is trans, which she is not, but because what’s behind the IOC’s crazy decision is precisely queer feminism and the LGBT movement.

"First, because the IOC considers that leaving her out would be “discriminatory” and that everyone has the right to participate. I would like to know if the IOC would let me participate in the Olympic Games in the women’s boxing event, if instead of ears, due to some genetic quirk, I had developed two bazookas that opened fire randomly. (READ MORE: The Paris Olympics Aren’t Representative of the France I Know)" . . .
