For some reason, the flat earth movement has picked up a bit of momentum in certain sections of society in recent years. People love a conspiracy theory, but this one trumps the lot of them.
Of course it's a load of shite, but that hasn't stopped people from jumping on the bandwagon.
While it has managed to make its way into the mainstream, we thought the world of football would be unaffected. We thought wrong.
Marca are reporting that a Spanish fourth tier club has decided to chance their name to Flat Earth FC. Perviously known as Mostoles Balompie, club president Javi Poves decided to change the name to support flat earthers all over the world.
We are a professional football club in the Spanish fourth tier and we are born to unite the voices of millions of flat earth movement followers and all those people who are looking for answers.
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.
This will also be the first football club associated with a cause and an idea, without having a specific location.
Professional football clubs are subject not only to a nation, but also to a city.
Flat Earth FC is the first football club whose followers are united by the most important thing, which is an idea.
Of course, this is definitely just a publicity stunt, but it's a damn good one. They might even sell a few jerseys out of it.
