What happened: York was suspended six regular-season games and fined $500,000 under the NFL's personal conduct policy, as the league announced earlier Friday. The penalty keeps the San Francisco 49ers owner out of games, but it does not cut off his share of league and club revenue during the ban.

Why it matters: That gap matters because player suspensions wipe out game checks and can trigger bonus forfeitures, while an owner still collects the business income tied to the season. Using the Green Bay Packers' public filing as a benchmark, the fine amounts to a small slice of the shared revenue each club received last year.

What to watch: Watch whether the NFL spells out any different financial standard for owner discipline in future personal conduct cases. San Francisco's football operations continue while York serves the suspension away from games.
