"Joined the ayahuasca circle": NFL fans react as DK Metcalf “throws Aaron Rodgers right under the proverbial bus” with conspiracy theorist remark

Metcalf said he is a big conspiracy theorist and pointed to Antarctica access restrictions while praising Aaron Rodgers as a teammate.

  • Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf told The Athletic's Jonathan Jones he believes a secret civilization exists beneath Antarctica, questioning why world leaders specifically meet on the continent.
  • The 28-year-old receiver, a self-described conspiracy theorist, noted he bonds over such topics with teammate Aaron Rodgers, suggesting access to Antarctica remains restricted to the public.
  • Addressing the claims, Jones noted "there is no verifiable evidence of such meetings taking place." University of Florida professor Brent Christner, who has made eight trips to Antarctica, added that no global government group operates there.
  • Tourism to the continent typically involves ships departing from South America between November and March. Despite Metcalf's questions, Jones clarified that individuals can book trips there, countering the notion of a government-controlled zone.
  • Metcalf and the Steelers begin their 2026 campaign this Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the Atlanta Falcons, hoping to defend their AFC North title for the first time in five years.
