Not only athletes, criticism also came from various figures, one of which was Niall Boylan, the host of the famous Irish TalkShow and Radio & TV broadcaster.

I am not religious, but the depiction of the Lastployment in French is a blatant disrespect and incitement. Jesus is described as a woman and her students as transvestites. I wonder why they don't mock Islam in the same way. Actually, don't answer because I know the reason," he wrote.
