June 8, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

TMZ reports that while speaking to reporters outside of the White House, President Donald Trump offered an olive branch of sorts to the players of the NFL. He offered to let them name people they feel were unfairly treated by the justice system and he would pardon them.

He said: “What I’m thinking to do, you have a lot of people in the NFL in particular … they’re not proud enough to stand for our national anthem. I’m gonna ask all of those people to recommend to me … people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system and I’m gonna ask them to recommend to me, people that were unfairly treated, friends of theirs or people that they know about and I’m gonna take a look at those applications. And if I find and my committee finds that they were unfairly treated, then we will pardon them or at least let them out.
