I don't think its a big deal that footballs had less air. But he acted so recklessly, offered bribes, destroyed evidence, lied and made the league look stupid.
Did he deflate the balls? I'm sure he did. if he had owned up to it in his presser instead of acting like he was unaware footballs even had air, this would have all blown over in the amount it takes the deflator to take a piss
