Sports · Mar 3, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

Trump announced his intention to pardon the late Pete Rose, a ball player who was disqualified from the Baseball Hall of Fame for betting on the game. But this is only the beginning.

Here's a list of other athletes he's looking to pardon:

  1. Aaron Judge for dropping a routine fly in center field during game 5 of the 2024 World Series: Unforgivable, but Trump is merciful.

  2. Barry Bonds and the other 1199 players who took steroids in 2007: Everyone was doing it.

  3. The Chicago White Sox for their last 15 seasons: Maybe next year will be their year.

  4. Nolan Ryan, for throwing over the speed limit on consecutive occasions: No one should be allowed to throw that fast at that age.

  5. Canada, for beating America at hockey: Everyone knows we let you win anyway.

  6. Tonya Harding, for conspiracy to break Nancy Kerrigan's legs: Let's let bygones be bygones.

  7. Soccer, for being boring and gay: Trump diplomacy in action.

  8. LeBron James, for making Space Jam 2: He can't stop flopping.

  9. Umpire Jim Joyce for robbing Armando Galarraga of his perfect game: Sad.

  10. OJ Simpson: Should an entire man's career be disgraced because of one mistake?

Trump is clearly looking to play the spread with these upcoming pardons. What other sports crimes do you think he should forgive?
