York May Self-Suspend After Arrest

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York may impose a suspension on himself following his arrest, according to an unnamed source at a recent NFL ownership meeting.

York's no-contest plea to attempting to pay for sex at an Ohio trailer park has caused widespread public humiliation, which has reportedly crossed the Atlantic to his partial ownership of two English soccer clubs. The embarrassment could prompt York to "self-suspend," a term an insider used to describe the potential outcome at the special ownership meeting to approve the Seahawks sale.

While the NFL is expected to impose its own suspension and fine, many believe the long-term reputational damage will be the greater punishment. Unlike player suspensions, owner suspensions still allow the owner to receive team revenue during the banishment period. newsbetting.cv
