During the event, a gold-plated domed lid lifted to reveal a platter of fruit.

Atop the fruit was a man painted entirely in blue, adorned with a bright yellow beard, a crown of fruit, and a wreath around his waist.

He lay with one leg propped up, then lifted a microphone and began to sing, adding rogue hand gestures to the already surreal scene.

The “Blue Scrotum” performance went viral, which sparked debate on social media.

This celebration, part of the Greek origins of the Olympics, honors Dionysus (also known as Bacchus), the god of festivity, wine, and revelry.

In her Facebook post, Kelce showed the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context behind the ceremony.

In the post, Travis Kelce’s mom pointed out that the portrayal was a nod to Greek traditions and French theatrical history, not a religious critique. The post included an image of a 17th-century Dutch painting of the Greek Gods to illustrate the point.
