Dre Greenlaw questions existence of Antarctica during 49ers media session in Melbourne

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw sparked reactions after questioning the existence of Antarctica during a team media event in Melbourne on Tuesday. The linebacker asked reporters if the continent was a "lie" and if they had personal proof of its climate, prompting social media mockery from fans. The exchange occurred during the team's preparations for the first regular-season NFL game in Australia, which is scheduled against the Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The incident prompted fans to reference an ongoing offseason theory regarding electrical equipment near the team's practice facility. Despite the distraction, the 49ers are continuing their final preparations for Thursday's game in the United States, which falls on Friday morning for local observers.
