The NFL should hold owners to an even higher standard of accountability than players—including 49ers’ owner Jed York. Playing in the NFL is a privilege; so is owning an NFL team. The sacrifices may be different, but the responsibility to protect the shield is the same. The NFL has to prove that “protecting the shield” means holding EVERYONE accountable when they demean it—regardless of title, status, or bank account. A fine may barely move a billionaire’s needle, but temporarily taking away their ability to operate as an owner? That gets their attention. @Thepivot clips on @Youtube. #ThePivot #JedYork #ProtectTheShield #NFL
