Neil deGrasse Tyson Tackles the Physics of Football

What is one of the greatest displays of terrestrial physics? Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks down the physics of “The Tush Push” and it impacts the Earth’s rotation with host of Good Morning Football Kyle Brandt. How can being physics-literate improve the game? Learn the physics of why this play works so well. Explore the relationship between the offensive line and the Earth. Can “The Tush Push” change the rotation of the Earth?
