POLICY WIRE — San Francisco, United States — The NFL has handed down a six-game suspension and a $500,000 fine to 49ers owner Jed York following an investigation into his conduct. The league announced the disciplinary action on Friday, marking a significant consequence for the team’s top executive.

The penalties came two months after York was arrested in Ohio on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. He later pleaded no contest to charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. The league stated that York has already missed the first three regular-season games and NFL meetings, which count toward his suspension. He is expected to return on October 20.
