49ers owner absent from NFL owners meeting in Atlanta
San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York did not attend the NFL owners' gathering in Atlanta, where a vote on the Seahawks sale was scheduled, after his recent legal case was resolved.
NFL team owners convened in Atlanta on Wednesday to vote on the sale of the Seattle Seahawks. The San Francisco 49ers were represented by CEO Al Guido, as owner Jed York was not present at the meeting. York had recently entered a no-contest plea to charges of disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools following an arrest in East Palestine, Ohio. The league announced that it is reviewing the matter under its Personal Conduct Policy, noting that any disciplinary action could be determined quickly because the legal case has been concluded and the 49ers have a game scheduled in Australia in 15 days.
