A slightly deflated ball is easier to grip tightly in wet and/or cold weather.

“does a slightly deflated ball weigh less than an inflated one?”

This is probably the same reporter that found the rubber bullets in Ferguson. Weighing a football to determine if it is inflated correctly?....I’d expect this from a six year old’s mind. Don’t tell me our education system is working when you see something like this in the news.

Less air pressure = less weight... (PV=nRT)
And
wet balls weigh more than dry ones...
