President Trump has pardoned Edward DeBartolo Jr., the former San Francisco 49ers owner convicted in a gambling fraud scandal.

DeBartolo, after building the 49ers’ dynasty of the 1980s and ’90s, was involved in a scandal that drove him from the NFL. In 1998, he pleaded guilty to failing to report a felony when he paid $400,000 to former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards in exchange for a riverboat gambling license.

The White House announced the surprise decision on Tuesday. NFL greats Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Ronnie Lott and Charles Haley participated in the announcement.after two Louisiana newspapers reported he would be indicted for gambling fraud.He avoided prison, was fined $1 million and was suspended for a year by the NFL. But the episode effectively ended his NFL career.

Rice, an NFL Hall of Famer who played on three of DeBartolo’s Super Bowl-winning teams, said DeBartolo “was like that 12th man” of the great 49ers teams. “He’s the main reason why we won so many Super Bowls,” Rice said. “So today is a great day for him. I’m glad to be here and be a part of that. It’s just something I will never forget. This man, he has done so much in the community, has done so much in NFL football.”

So will the NFL allow him to take back the team from his nephew? How much does Trump now own in the 49 er franchise? Will Trump change the name to the 45ers?

Is he the next Ambassador to the EU?

Wonder how much that cost him?

Trump likes pardoning criminals like himself.

Reminds me of the film “Ghostbusters” When the city official released all the extreme paranormal garbage back into society. imageOfTrump

Trump pardons former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr.President Trump grants clemency to former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. related to a decades-old corruption charge, the White House says. Not sure of the point in this. He pleaded guilty, paid a fine, served probation. I don't see the service of justice. How do you pardon a person who pleads guilty and never did jail time? They were so unfair to him though! 🙄🙄
