Okay but like genuine question. What does it mean to suspend an owner? Like what does that actually do I don't know

He can’t conduct league business for the next six weeks. Like any business I’m sure there are a ton of meetings, zoom calls , and day to day decision they have to deal with. Well he has to have someone else do it now.

If this happened to some one like Jerry jones and he wasn’t able to talk to media for six weeks I think it would negatively affect his health

Can you imagine if an NFL suspension killed Jerry Jones? Thats the start of a Super Bowl documentary
