    Default Trump Pardons Eddie DeBartolo Jr. (Former 49ers Owner)

    What a great day in America. Eddie D. was one of the greatest sports owners ever and presided over the 49ers dynasty. Clearly there was a national conspiracy to bring the 49ers down when Eddie D got busted.




    President Trump pardons former 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr.

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

    DeBartolo, 73, who helped to build the 49ers' dynasty of the 1980s and '90s, was involved in one of the biggest owners' scandals in the sport's history.

    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 to reporters on Tuesday. NFL greats Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Ronnie Lott and Charles Haley were in attendance.

    DeBartolo, whose 49ers won five Super Bowls under his leadership, stepped down as owner in 1997 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, a Pro Football 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."

    DeBartolo withdrew from the riverboat project after the state gambling board demanded he hand over all documents he gave to the grand jury. The documents included an "unexecuted agreement'' between DeBartolo and Stephen Edwards, according to a copy of a grand jury subpoena obtained by the newspapers.

    The state gambling board canceled the project after DeBartolo withdrew.

    The DeBartolo family built their fortune through commercial real estate -- mostly owning shopping malls. The family business was started by DeBartolo's father, who died in 1994. In addition to the 49ers, the family also owned the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League before selling the team in 1991.

    DeBartolo Jr. ran the 49ers starting in 1977, and his hiring of coach Bill Walsh in 1979 led to the franchise's most successful era. From 1982 to 1995, the team won five Super Bowls.

    After the suspension, DeBartolo gave control of the team to his sister, Denise DeBartolo York.

    He never returned to the NFL after his suspension. The team is now run by his nephew, Jed York.

    DeBartolo was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

    Yea, that $400,000 had nothing to do w/ it.......... How many more criminals is dodald going to pardon??

    "Hey, Hey, how many more fellow criminals is trump going to pardon today, Hey, Hey, how many more fellow criminals is trump going to pardon today"


    I wonder if all or most of the impeached pardons will just so happen to involve corrupt officials in some way

His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Trump may have just picked up a few more votes in California, today. And in Illinois, too.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It's funny you say that. A good high school buddy of mine was born and raised in Oakland and is a die hard Raiders fan and he hates the 49ers with a passion. He's also politically right wing.

    I texted him yesterday saying what a great day it was for America. His response: "I'm voting for Bernie Sanders". I almost dropped my phone I was laughing so hard.

    Same here for the 49ers. Both were power house teams.

    I must admit my grave disappointment that the 49ers have twice failed to tie the Steelers and Pats with six SB victories.

    But hard to be a football fan and have anything but admiration for those Steelers teams of the '70's.

    The 49ers of the 80's were virtually unbeatable. I wonder how the 70's Steelers would match up against them. We would see football as it's supposed to be played, no doubt.

    This year's 49ers were good, and will be next year. I do, however, have to admit I was rooting for Andy Reid in this year's Superbowl
