The ancient Olympic games were held in Olympia, Greece, in honor of the Greek god Zeus.
The original games date back to 776 B.C. and ran for a millennium until 393 A.D. The games were held every four years and initially only permitted first-born Greek men to participate.
Artists and poets presented their works, and the ancient Olympics had a definite political flavor, even thousands of years ago. Early sports included running, boxing, chariot racing, wrestling, and pentathlon.

The Olympics went dark in the 4th century A.D. until the first modern games in Athens in 1896.
Over the next hundred-plus years, winter games were added, professional athletes were allowed to participate, the number of sports expanded (who knew break dancing and skateboarding would now be Olympic sports?), and politics had an increasing presence in the games to the point that they are now eclipsing the athletic events.
The Paris 2024 Olympics, instead of featuring an opening ceremony celebrating the home country of France, offered an anti-Christian, LGBTQ smorgasbord depiction of The Last Supper featuring a drag queen defending the offensive show as, “a multifaceted, multiethnic France with people of different ethnicities and orientations.”
If the Olympic committee really wants to showcase “different orientations” in “multiethnic France”, they should perform a closing ceremony featuring the prophet Mohammed as a Rubenesque figure surrounded by a cadre of dancing imams in drag. But of course, that “facet” of diversity will never see the light of day.
DEI for thee but not for me.
Transgender athletics is another hot political issue, specifically transgendered or genetically anomalous women, previously known as men, guys, or dudes, competing as and against women, previously known as gals, chicks, or ladies.
