is this serious
Shaquille O'Neal is known as one of the most colorful past athletes, but this time, the NBA legend caused a stir in the United States, with a controversial statement, and not for the first time.
The 50-year-old former actor spoke out a few days ago and expressed support for the theory that the earth is not round but flat: "I flew for 20 hours today. I didn't flip over, I flew in a straight line."
Shaquille O'Neal explains why the Earth is flat
"I flew 20 hours today, not once did I go this way, I didn't go straight.
I didn't tip over, I didn't go upside-down.
It's still a straight line, you don't go under."

In fact, this is not the first time that O'Neill has claimed that the Earth is flat.
In his 2017 podcast, the former actor said: "It's true, the Earth is flat. There are three ways to manipulate the mind: by what you read, what you hear, and what you're taught. In school the first thing they tell you is that Columbus discovered America, But when he got there, there were already white people with long hair smoking pipes. So what does that mean?"
And if this continues to sound familiar to you, then it is surely because in 2017, the star of the Brooklyn Nets, Kyrie Irving, who also makes controversial decisions such as not getting vaccinated against Corona, himself supported the flat earth theory - but for that he already apologized.
