NFL commissioner issues statement on arrest of 49ers owner Jed York
The San Francisco 49ers' owner may not be out of hot water just yet after he was arrested for responding to an ad on a "known prostitution website."
On Sunday morning in Ohio, San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested following his response to an undercover ad on a known prostitution website. The incident led to two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools, resulting in a two-day jail sentence and a $1,150 fine. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed reporters at the NFL pre-season owners meeting that the league is reviewing the situation to determine if it violated the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Goodell stated that a decision will be made if there is something to report. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan downplayed the impact of York's arrest on the team, noting that York's absence is not a drastic change from the norm during training camp. No significant punishment is expected from the league at this point, and York's absence from public view is anticipated to persist until further notice from the NFL.
