Where did I defend the official in this play?

Reading is fundamental.

Yes, reading is fundamental. But so is watching the video with a basic understanding of elementary physics. Without both, you may come to a nonsense conclusion.

My point and the primary point being made by most was not about you defending the block call but claiming that the defender's momentum caused the separation and not being due to the offensive player pushing off. Anyone who has successfully completed elementary science would know different yet you persist in claiming that the defender's momentum is responsible for him dramatically changing direction. I suggest you go read up a little bit on what momentum is. But somehow, I doubt that your reading it would help.
