Notre Dame signee WR Xavier Watts: "The Earth is flat. It just doesn’t make any sense to me that the world is round.”

Come on, really?? Nobody's that dumb and about to enter a fairly elite school, Notre Dame.
 




He might just be joking

But over 2,000 years ago, the Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated the circumference with near perfect accuracy.
 


Kyrie Irving espouses the same idiocy and he also went to an “elite” academic institution.
 

I really hope he's joking, but I also wouldn't be surprised as the flat earth conspiracy has been growing in recent years. The documentary on Netflix about it is worth a watch, explains the reasons why it might be gaining traction (i.e. distrust of large establishments and stuff like that)

I always found it particularly funny that an Australian living in the United States would claim a flat earth.
 

Great pic marston above, how'd you do that?
 

This is why I dislike the double standard of acceptance into a school. Hey, you’re an outstanding athlete, you probably scored an 18 on your ACT, but we will let you in because you’re going to make us money.
 








There's a great documentary on Netflix about the flat earth true believers. It's scary funny as several people attempt to prove it's flat only to have every attempted experiment fail and do the exact opposite.
 

Let people believe what they want to. Is it harming anyone else for this guy to believe it?

It's harming the reputation of any school he's ever been affiliated with.

I could be wrong but a theory as flipping idiotic as this which can be proven wrong within a second or quick look from a new borne. Everyone who believes it should be sent to a crazy hospital for life.
 

People who say this don’t actually believe it. It is attention seeking behavior. Congrats on giving it to him
 

Denial of evolutionary biology and the human impacts on global warming, coming up next on this *student’s* knuckle dragging ted talks...

If you’re a kid that takes an athletes perspective on life to be truth, then the concern shouldn’t be about the athlete. Same goes for celebrities, people that actually take their stupid ass opinions seriously ought to be put in special ed.

One person shouldn’t ruin the reputation of an entire establishment. did Randy Moss’s antics, such as running over a woman with his car, ruin the reputation of the Vikings? Nope.

Quite a difference between "harm" and "ruin".

But what about the Love Boat???

Also, not sure how old you are, but Moss didn't run any woman over. He literally moved his car with a meter maid sitting on the hood. There were definitely no tires running over any body parts. Also, that was hilarious when Moss did that - he just had the balls to do what everybody who has ever gotten a parking ticket while they're at standing at their vehicle wanted to do.
