Devin McCourty adds his voice to NFL players calling for Trump’s help in addressing systematic injustices

Devin McCourty called upon President Trump on Thursday to help address systematic injustices in the justice system and across American society. The Patriots safety added his voice to the words of his fellow NFL Players Coalition members, who penned an Op-Ed in The New York Times outlining a similar appeal.

The players were responding to an offer the president recently made to those who chose to protest during the national anthem. Trump asked them to send him a list of prisoners they believed were “unfairly treated by the justice system” and said he would pardon them if he agreed.
