NFL Reviews 49ers Owner's Conduct; AFL Suspends Players Amid Police Probe

The National Football League is reviewing an arrest involving San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York, who pleaded no-contest to two misdemeanor charges. The league's personal conduct policy allows for significant penalties, including potentially forcing an owner to sell their team, depending on the outcome of the review.

In a separate incident, the Australian Football League (AFL) has decided not to invite five Sydney Swans players, who have been suspended by their club, to the upcoming Brownlow medal ceremony. This decision comes as the league awaits the conclusion of a police investigation into allegations of sexual assault involving the players. The AFL has stated that its own inquiry will be delayed until the police probe is complete, emphasizing the importance of how the league treats women.
