Travis And Jason Kelce Reveal How Many NFL Players Believe In ‘Flat Earth’ Conspiracy Theory: 'You Would Be Shocked'
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce revealed shocking details as to how many NFL players actually believe in controversial conspiracy theories.
During an episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, Travis, alongside his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, mentioned how conspiracy theories help to create comradery amongst players, saying the theories "help bring NFL locker rooms together."
Their featured guest, comedian Andrew Santino, jokingly asked, "What percentage of the NFL believes in flat earth," prompting the brothers to jump at the opportunity to spill the beans on the topic.
"Dude, honestly, there's at least 10 guys, 10 to 15 guys in every locker room I would imagine," Travis, 34, revealed.
"You would be shocked," Jason, 36, responded. "If you took an anonymous poll...like, nobody had to disclose their name or anything like that — you're over 15% of an NFL locker room. Maybe over 20."
"It's crazy dude," Travis said. "Dude, everyone gets hit in the head, it's unbelievable," he laughed.
In addition to the "flat earth" theory, which recently began "spreading around the globe" per CNN, the trio also discussed the theory involving NFL scripts, pre-planned seasons and organized wins, losses, and injuries.
"They're all real and true," Santino, 40, chimed in. "The NFL is rigged. That one's really good, that one I love. I've seen the scripts you've sent me on escript. It was pretty good," he joked.
Conspiracy theories have been around for decades; however, social media has taken it to new heights, involving political commentator like Candace Owens and A-list comedians such as Katt Williams.
In a recent interview, Owens, 35, claimed that the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, has been active in the propaganda sprinkled throughout movies and media.
"They're concerned about certain narratives. They get involved with World War films," the author and activist alleged, citing films such as 'Transformers,' 'Black Hawk Down,' 'Golden Eye,' and 'Apollo 13' as examples of movies which allegedly utilize government influence.
"Whole industries can be built upon your ability to know how certain things are going to hit certain people," Williams, 52, said on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast. "And this was before we called things promotion and marketing. Hollywood is not really there to entertain you."
