Fred Warner: Jed York arrest really wasn't a topic of conversation in 49ers' locker room

49ers linebacker Fred Warner says the players aren't talking about team owner Jed York's arrest and subsequent no contest plea after he attempted to solicit prostitution.

49ers linebacker Fred Warner revealed that the players are not discussing team owner Jed York's arrest and his subsequent no contest plea for soliciting prostitution. Warner mentioned that everyone is aware of the situation, including the use of social media, but they have decided not to comment on it. He expressed his love and respect for York, stating that it wasn't a conversation taking place in the locker room.

Warner emphasized that the team was focused on preparing for Week One, with many players on the bubble trying to secure a spot on the roster. They were aiming to improve as a football team, and he believed it was best to keep the personal situation involving York private. Similar sentiments were shared by head coach Kyle Shanahan, who stated that the arrest had no impact on the team.

The 49ers are trying their best to remain unaffected by the unusual incident of an NFL owner being arrested.
