NFL Bans 49ers Owner Jed York Six Games After Ohio Arrest

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York has received a six-game suspension and a $500,000 fine from the NFL following an August arrest in Ohio.

NFL discipline for personal conduct violation

  1. York was arrested in August after attempting to engage in prostitution in Ohio.
  2. The league reviewed the matter under its personal conduct policy.
  3. The NFL imposed a six-game suspension on the 49ers owner and fined him $500,000.

The discipline removes York from team responsibilities for six games, while the financial penalty accompanies the suspension. The punishment stems directly from the conduct that led to his Ohio arrest.
