Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson addressed NFL conspiracy theories during an interview with the Erie Times-News on October 29, 2025, at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. Tyson was in town for the Jefferson Educational Society's Global Summit XVII.
In the interview, Tyson dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding the NFL, stating that such beliefs often stem from a lack of knowledge. "Everything is a conspiracy if you don’t know anything about anything," he remarked.
The discussion took place ahead of Tyson's presentation at the summit. The interview was reported by Kevin Harrish for The Comeback on November 4, 2026.
