However, boxer isn’t convicted of any crimes

they know about and I’m going to take a look at those applications.”

Trump has spent months attacking players who protested during the anthem.

Earlier in the week, Trump disinvited the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles from a White House celebration after learning many would not attend in protest.

Last year, Trump encouraged NFL owners to fire the protesting players.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now,” he said at a political rally. ‘Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’”

On Friday, he said athletes have “seen a lot of abuse” and “a lot of unfairness” and that he wants their input on his use of this executive power.

The improbable pardon that could be offered to Ali follows a string of similar moves by the President.

Last month, Trump posthumously pardoned pugilist Jack Johnson, the country’s first African-American heavyweight champion.

Johnson was convicted in 1913 by an all-white jury of violating the Mann Act for traveling with his white girlfriend.

The Johnson pardon stemmed from the President’s friendship with Sylvester Stallone, who famously played the fictional fighter Rocky Balboa.

Trump has also floated the idea of pardoning disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and lifestyle maven Martha Stewart. Blagojevich’s attorneys filed an official request Wednesday asking Trump to commute his 14-year sentence on corruption charges.

Trump has shown he enjoys exercising his executive power, which he’s been brandishing without the typical Department of Justice review.

Last week, Trump pardoned conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to campaign finance violations.

Earlier this week, Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson, a woman serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense whose cause was championed last week by Kim Kardashian West during a visit to the Oval Office.

Johnson, 63, was convicted and sentenced to life without parole in 1996 for her role in a cocaine-trafficking operation in Tennessee.

The flurry of pardons has some critics concerned that Trump will use his executive power to influence special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election meddling and possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin ahead of the 2016 presidential contest.

Trump said he hasn’t “even thought about” the possibility of pardoning his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort or personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

He added, “They haven’t been convicted of anything. There’s nothing to pardon.”
