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

Of course. Everybody knows the truck driver carrying 11 tons of canaries in hid trailer can safely get over the 10 ton limit bridge by banging on the sides of the trailer to put them all in flight.

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...
