NFL hands 49ers' Jed York $500K fine, 6-game suspension after owner arrested while responding to fake prostitution ad

The National Football League penalized San Francisco franchise boss Jed York with a half-million-dollar financial penalty and a six-game ban following an off-season arrest in Ohio connected to a fraudulent solicitation posting. Having already missed three matches while league evaluators reviewed the infraction, the executive is scheduled to be reinstated in late October ahead of a road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

York issued a public apology accepting the punishment entirely and expressing remorse to his organization, relatives, and supporters for committing a severe error in judgment.
