New York Giants quarterback Geno Smith appears to have been swayed by Kyrie Irving's claim the Earth is flat.
Smith tweeted Saturday that he's been researching the flat-Earth theory and "may be" with the Boston Celtics star on the matter.
I been studying this whole flat earth vs globe thing... and I think I may be with Kyrie on this... b4 you judge do some HW but what do you guys think?

He clarified in follow-up tweets that he's not completely sold on the theory, but can see where both sides are coming from.
That’s not enough evidence if u ask me

Lol I didn’t say it’s flat, but I see how it can be debated. For all I know Earth is round but that’s just from what I’ve been taught.

I find it funny how you all assume I believe Earth is flat lol I just think you guys should have an open mind because as we know a lot of the “truths” that we thought were true actually aren’t 🤷🏾♂️

Irving first revealed his flat-Earth belief last February during an appearance on former Cleveland Cavaliers teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye's podcast. He later referred to his comments as "an exploitation tactic."
