C Spire pulls advertisements after ‘Last Supper’ tableau during Olympics: ‘Shocked by the mockery’
SUMMARY: C Spire, Mississippi’s largest telecommunications company, has decided to withdraw its advertisements from the 2024 Paris Olympics due to backlash over a controversial segment of the opening ceremony that resembled “The Last Supper.” The artistic director, Thomas Jolly, defended the depiction, stating it aimed to celebrate France’s diversity and support LGBTQ+ rights. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves praised C Spire for its decision, asserting it was appropriate amidst public outcry. The games will continue until August 11, 2024, but it remains uncertain whether other U.S. companies will follow suit in pulling their advertisements.
