NFL reviews Jed York arrest potential sanctions

Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested in Ohio and is under investigation by the NFL following misdemeanor charges related to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. The NFL’s personal conduct policy allows for discipline of owners convicted or involved in prohibited conduct, but removal of ownership requires a majority vote from league owners. While the NFL can suspend or fine York, forcing him to sell the team has never happened, though previous owners have sold franchises following legal or ethical scandals.
