Dre Greenlaw asks Australians if Antarctica is ‘a lie’
· Yahoo Sports
What is going on with the NFL and Antarctica? Earlier today The Athletic published an interview with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. In the interview it was revealed that Metcalf believed a conspiracy theory that “there is another civilization inside the Earth,” and it has something to do with Antarctica.
Not long after that, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw took the podium in Australia ahead of his team’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. One reporter asked Greenlaw if he had any questions for Australians and he started asking his own questions about Antarctica.

“I mean it’s just interesting being in another country. I mean how far are we from Antarctica? That’s what I gotta ask. So we’re like right on top of, huh? Like, does it snow. It snows probably pretty bad.”
When Greenlaw was told its not as bad as Antarctica, he asked if the country was “a lie.” He followed that by asking if anyone had been to Antarctica. When no one had, he asked how they knew it was cold and walked off.
Obviously, this is a long way from believing there’s a secret civilization underneath the ice, but the fact that two different guys in the NFL are suddenly asking questions about Antarctica… That’s just odd. Did you even know there were any conspiracy theories about Antarctica?

Hopefully this won’t affect the 49ers performance this week. They have enough problems with injuries and electrical substations as it is. Adding in the secret people underneath Antarctica rising up against them and that’s probably just too much for the team to overcome this season.
Remember a few years back when athletes were all over the flat Earth? Maybe its just Antarctica’s turn. If this results in a bunch of football players going there and getting involved in penguin advocacy, maybe it will be worth it.
