qms commented on the word Deflategate
Deflategate is a “scandal” arising from the allegation that in the American Football Conference championship game played in Foxboro, MA on January 18, 2015, in which the New England Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45-7, the Patriots had cheated by slightly deflating the footballs they used in order to provide a better grip in cold, wet weather.
