York May Self-Suspend After Arrest

Amid widespread public humiliation, speculation mounts that San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York may self-suspend following his arrest, before the NFL takes formal disciplinary action.

Following his no-contest plea to attempting to pay for sex at an Ohio trailer park, Jed York faces potential NFL discipline. However, the public humiliation and reputational damage may prompt the 49ers owner to impose a suspension on himself, according to an unnamed insider at a recent ownership meeting.

The widespread embarrassment, which has crossed the Atlantic due to York's partial ownership of two English soccer clubs, could be punishment enough for the NFL owner. While many expect formal sanctions including a suspension and fine, the long-term reputational damage may be the most significant consequence. sweetbonan.org
