The National Football League confirmed plans for Jed York to remain involved with the team after his arrest on prostitution charges. The NFL held its inaugural game in Melbourne, Australia, on Thursday evening, with the Los Angeles Rams facing off against the San Francisco 49ers. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the issue during a pregame segment on the streaming service's program.
Goodell stated that the league's investigation into York's situation is ongoing and a final announcement would be made when completed. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers defended York in a recent podcast interview, criticizing ESPN for focusing on York's arrest while ignoring similar relationships within their coverage.
Former NFL players Michael Irvin and Shannon Sharpe also came to York's defense. The outcome of the investigation remains uncertain, but it is unlikely Goodell would share the same view as the players.
