NBA revises foul criteria after learning that one can fall harder than pushed.

Thanks to an alert from physics professor Donald Trump, basketball replays will now be examined to determine when players attempt to deceive officials by falling harder than they were pushed. Special video analysis software will measure downward acceleration due to gravity and detect rates in excess of 9.8 meters per second per second.

“Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?”
