While this may be old news to our followers on Twitter, it is my pleasure to announce that as of a few days ago, the Flat Earth movement's own football club is ready to kick off!
The Spanish football team formerly known as
Móstoles Balompie has been officially renamed to
Flat Earth FC by its president, Javi Poves.
Poves provided the following comments for
Marca, a Spanish daily sport newsletter:
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.
Godspeed, FEFC. Your friends at the Flat Earth Society wish you nothing but success!
