In what is turning out to be a supremely embarrassing situation for the San Francisco 49ers, their owner, Jed York, made headlines for all the wrong reasons after being arrested in an undercover sting in a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio. He has since pleaded no contest to the arrest.
The NFL is likely to take a dim view of this situation, and commissioner Roger Goodell has since made his position clear regarding whether he violated the NFL's personal conduct policy.
York was stopped by police in a rental car, looking to pay $140 to whom he believed was a prostitute in a trailer park, but was in fact a sting operation. After pleading no contest, he was sentenced to one day in prison for each offense he was charged with.
NFL commissioner Goodell has since made his position clear: "It's being reviewed under our personal conduct policy. And we'll do that. And when there is something to be reported, we'll comment further."
Punishment for owners who violate the NFL's personal conduct policy is not without precedent.
