    Flat Earthers are a persistent bunch, and it appears that they’re branching out.

    We have all grown accustomed to their attacks on NASA and any image of earth taken from space, but now one soldier for the cause is taking things onto the football pitch.

    Former professional footballer Javi Poves made just one appearance for Spanish club Sporting Gijón before retiring as a player, and eventually ended up at lower-league outfit CD Móstoles.

    He became club president, oversaw their promotion to the Spanish fourth division last year, and has now decided to draw some attention to the club by changing its name.

    Over to the Guardian:

    With his club’s status on the rise, he decided it was time for a rebrand. It wasn’t just any rebrand, though: Poves renamed the club Flat Earth FC…

    “Football is the most popular sport and has the most impact worldwide, so creating a club dedicated to the flat earth movement is the best way to have a constant presence in the media,” said Poves earlier this year. “Flat Earth FC is the first football club whose followers are united by the most important thing, which is an idea.”

    The club’s crest is now a circular image of the earth, pressed flat on to all kits, and fans are encouraged to spark regular conversations in their pursuit of answers from the powers that be. The team mascot? An astronaut.

    It’s a radical move, but the club is bringing in supporters from afar. “It’s really amazing to be part of this amazing movement,” says Flat Earth player Mario Cardete. “I think it’s more than a club.”

    As you can see from this video below, which offers some decent insight into the club’s ‘thinking’, at least they acknowledge that the ball is round:

    Crazy attracts crazy, as they say.

    Still, it’s all less deluded than when Ole Gunnar Solskjær said Manchester United can compete for the Premier League title next year.
