Roger Goodell says NFL is looking into whether to punish 49ers owner Jed York following his arrest

Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the NFL is investigating the possibility of punishing San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York for violating the league's personal conduct policy. York was arrested in Ohio for attempting to pay for sexual services with a woman believed to be a prostitute. He was charged with disorderly conduct and pleaded no contest to the charge, receiving a one-day jail sentence and a $1,150 fine.

This incident adds to a list of previous NFL owners who have faced consequences for similar violations, including Jim Irsay, who was suspended for six games and fined $500,000.
