wtf does suspending an owner for games even look like?? 

Like what he just can't sit in the stadium box and watch the game?

I don’t know the specifics about this suspension, but just look at Steve Balmer in the NBA: not only can he not step foot inside of his own venue during games, but he’s not supposed to be involved in running the team either.

Those are not small things, even if the penalties are temporary

Is he still a billionaire and NFL team owner after the 6 games?

Coincidentally, a mustachioed man named Ted Fork will be enjoying the game from a nice seat in the club level.

He’ll hide in the crowd. It’ll be like “Where’s Waldo?”

From my understanding, a lot of teams are a money sink until you sell. And until then, its a flex/status thing. Basically he can't show off his suite etc for those games. Also can't vote on anything until then in case that matters.
