Shaquille O’Neal says the Earth is flat, we’ve been lied to and he doesn’t care if you disagree
Bizpac Review ^ | March 20, 2017 | Samantha Chang

Shaq, a college graduate, defended Kyrie, saying: “It’s true. The Earth is flat. Listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this sh*t is flat to me. You mean to tell me that China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat.”

One of Shaq’s podcast co-hosts refuted his assertion by saying, “We’ve seen the Earth from satellite imagery.”

Shaq replied by saying that could be manipulated. To buttress his statement, Shaq pointed to the inaccuracies taught in school, such as the theory that Christopher Columbus had discovered America.

A casual aquantence of mine recently informed me about his belief in “crisis Actors” and that the Orlando and San Bernadino shootings and 9/11 (among others) were all staged events. He was “all in” on these theroies. He is otherwise a very nice guy normal sounding guy. I was shocked!

Theoretically, they are correct. If you drive 1000 miles west, there is no curve. The Earth is flat for us. You have to get really high up to see the curvature and nobody has time for that.

“It’s true. The Earth is flat. Listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this sh*t is flat to me."

Obviously he's never driven a rented moving truck, while pulling a car on a trailer, up and over the Continental Divide going east on I-80. That sh*t's anything but flat...

Newthers are a particularly loathsome group of people.

The media is more likely to accept this statement by Shaq than they are anything uttered by the Trump administration.

Whenever I hear Shaq on one of his radio commericials, I think of how vacuous and dopey he sounds. Maybe the dopey behavior is not an act. Shaq may simply be trolling, or pretending to believe this just to mess with people, but in his case, it’s very easy to take his declaration of ignorance as a serious statement.

He’s vying for an anchor desk at CNN.

Did anyone ask this nimrod why the earth looks like a ball from space?

You don't have to go to space to see it. Any plane ride at 40k feet is high enough

Makes sense why Shazam would say that considering his free throw trajectory was also pretty flat.

“Shaq, a college graduate” He graduated only because he was a mutant on his way to the NBA...

He is crazy.

If it was flat, how would the aliens be able to go through the hole in Antarctica into the hollow earth?

The whole concept is a modern idea. It was not accepted during the middle ages.

The Earth is flat. Listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this sh*t is flat to me

Settled science..........I'm sold.

About as solid as the science behind "climate change".

I'll never forgive Shaq for ruining my childhood with Kazaam and that Shaq Fu game on the Super Nintendo.

Shaq Fu is easily the worst video game I have ever played.

Those youtube videos on the earth being flat are actually a fascinating phenomenon. Some of them are VERY well done, and if you don’t pay attention or are abnormally gullible, they will convince you the earth IS flat.

I think they are an experiment to show how easy it is to dupe people about something that should be pretty cast in concrete. There may be even more nefarious goals around causing people to not believe anything at all.

Go to youtube and search flat earth. Liberals, regardless of education, will fall for this tripe. Some of the videos are amazingly well done and are very convincing, if you ignore some basic facts - like during telephone conversations with my daughter, how far the moon is off the horizon here in KY vs how far it is off the horizon in California, where she lives.

There are many other ways just as sound to disprove it.

But the liberal mind is an interesting thing.

LOL. I like Shaq. He’s one of the more moderate to even conservative celebrities out there. He can believe whatever he wants about the Earth.

I’ve read that true flat earthers believe the Flat Earth Society is an illuminati org designed to make them all appear foolish.
