bringing a football on a plane?

So I want to bring a regulation CFL football to mexico and I have packed it in my check in bag. It is inflated.. do you think this should be ok? I keep reading about pressurization of 8000 feet so it could explode but I also read that it will be fine because things like airosol cans don't explode...

Has anyone here brought an inflated football on a plane?

    Mr. Smith, why don't you be wise and deflate it?. You will not be flying at 8,000 feet, your cruising altitude will be 38,000 feet.

    It will probably be fine. You could let out a little bit of the air, if you wanted to be certain. Inflated sports balls are not prohibited in any way.

    it depends on it size and airline rules.
