NFL owners got together in Atlanta on Wednesday, primarily to vote on the sale of the Seahawks. One owner was conspicuously, but not surprisingly, absent from the gathering.
Via Mark Maske of Front Office Sports, 49ers owner Jed York was not spotted at the meeting. Per Maske, team CEO Al Guido was expected to be representing the team at the session.
York pleaded no contest on Monday to disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools, one day after being arrested in a prostitution sting at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.
The NFL has said it is reviewing the incident under the Personal Conduct Policy. Because the legal proceeding has already been resolved, punishment could be issued fairly quickly — especially since the 49ers play 15 days from now in Australia.
