NFL to Review York's Arrest Under Conduct Policy

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York faces review by the NFL after pleading no contest to disorderly conduct charges in Ohio.

The NFL has confirmed it will review York's case under the Personal Conduct Policy following his arrest and no-contest plea. The league has not yet determined what punishment York might face, raising questions about whether owners are held to the same standards as players for similar offenses. zeppelin.cool

York's legal issues come nearly three decades after his uncle, former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo, faced felony charges in 1998 related to a casino license, which ultimately led to him relinquishing ownership of the team.
