McDonald's France Fires Back at Steph Curry Over Olympic Victory

The U.S. men's basketball team beat France over the weekend to win its fifth straight Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, thanks in no small part to Steph Curry. And the nation seems perfectly happy to be defeated on its home court.

Following the heartbreaking defeat, McDonald's France took to social media to lash out at the 36-year-old playmaker, threatening to remove a popular sauce from its menu.

“For obvious reasons, we are considering removing this sauce,” McDonald's France wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of the chain's Classic Curry Sauce. The sauce, which is not available in the United States, is described as “a sweet and tangy sauce with a fruity apricot aroma and delicate spices.”

The translated caption on the post read: “At least 4 years.”

Curry was instrumental in securing a 98–87 victory over France, contributing 24 points to the win, including four three-pointers in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter. He hit the final three-pointer with just 33 seconds left on the clock, putting the USA up by nine and effectively running the game against France, who walked away with the silver medal.

“There's just a lot of belief, living and dying by the shots you feel you're supposed to take,” Curry told reporters after the game. “The last two and a half minutes were special. The kids were pumping me up. We had confidence in what we were trying to do. And I was just in the moment, enjoying myself.”
