Greg McElroy insists 1969 moon landing didn’t happen: ‘Genuine propaganda’
Published:
Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy doesn’t believe that humans have been to the moon.
McElroy’s opinion on the popular conspiracy theory came to light on Friday’s edition of McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning.
McElroy made a brief reference to the Artemis II launch that happened earlier this week and quipped that it was the “first time” humans will have been to the moon. Cubelic then returned to that comment and pressed McElroy for his thoughts.
“Do you honestly believe we’ve never been to the moon?” Cubelic said.
“I honestly believe we never went to the moon,” McElroy replied.
The former Tide QB then doubled down.
“There is a zero percent chance we went to the moon,” McElroy said. “Zero. Total, genuine propaganda.”

McElroy went on to explain a few more reasons why he doesn’t believe in the 1969 moon landing, citing a lack of technological advancements at time as well as a distrust of government officials in the 1960s.
“All I’m saying is that we didn’t go to the moon in 1969,” McElroy said. “We didn’t have microwaves, but we can go to the moon? We didn’t have color television.
“It has to do with technology. All of a sudden we’re going to travel deep, deep, deep into space … The sitting American Presidents of the time are not exactly known for being 100 percent honest.”
McElroy played quarterback for Alabama from 2007-10 and is currently a college football analyst for ESPN.
