A group of NFL players have taken to the New York Times to write an op-ed about the President Donald Trump’s latest offer. Recently Trump spoke with Steve Doocy and asked NFL players to let him know who should be pardoned.
Malcolm Jenkins, Doug Baldwin, Anquan Boldin, and Benjamin Watson wrote for the Times, starting off by commending Trump for his use of clemency power in the case of Alice Johnson. Johnson was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent crime. This singular case helped the quartet highlight their overarching theme of reform for those who have been saddled with life sentences for nonviolent crimes.
