San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York found himself in an embarrassing situation on Monday when reports emerged that he had been arrested and found guilty of two misdemeanor charges in East Palestine, OH. The arrest stemmed from the suspicion that York was soliciting prostitution. The widespread reaction to the news consisted of overwhelming shock and disgust at York’s actions; however, former ESPN and Fox Sports analyst Shannon Sharpe doesn’t take issue with them. “Ain’t nothing wrong with that,” a smirking Sharpe said on his Nightcap podcast. “Come on, man. You think the man cause he’s worth a billion dollars, he don’t want to wet his whistle?” “Sometimes you like them sleazy,” Sharpe added. Co-host Joe Johnson appeared grossed out by York’s actions, but Sharpe and former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco were adamant in defending York. “They the ones that got all the moves,” Sharpe insisted. “Remember I told you, ‘She had more moves than a $100 hooker?’ Them the ones that got the moves; the $5,000 ones don’t do nothing but model.” Sharpe’s compassion may be because he has infamously had the dirty laundry of his sex life aired out publicly. He accidentally went on Instagram Live during a sexual encounter while he was an ESPN employee, and his tenure at the Worldwide Leader came to an abrupt end as he dealt with now-settled sexual assault allegations against him. “It don’t make him no bad brother,” Sharpe said of York. “The man is human… he a man and he still got needs.” The 49ers issued a statement asserting that they won’t provide any further comment since it is a resolved legal matter, and the NFL is reviewing everything under the terms of its personal conduct policy.
