FEEDBACK

FLAT Earthism is on the rise, as basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal has announced that he too cannot accept the world is round. O'Neal was speaking in defence of Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving and several other NBA players, who revealed their geodesic doubts last month. Feedback imagined that O'Neal would only have to stand on tip toe to see Earth's curvature, but he insisted on his podcast: "I drive from Florida to California all the time, and it's flat to me. I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle." Is this Dadaist humour from the courts, or is basketball in the grip of geometric conspiracy theory? We can only surmise that an intervention from the Harlem Globetrotters - who must surely accept reality - is needed.
