California’s “jock taxes” force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.

Sam Darnold received $178k for winning the Super Bowl.
He owes California $249k for just the Super Bowl (they factor is his per game salary based on his annual contract)

He also owes a whole bunch more because he played 49ers and Rams in CA as well

This is a legit NFLPA situation.
I would hope the league would pressure those states to offer some relief.

California would just try to tax the NFLPA for the percentage of their dues derived from the time their members played in CA.

Fucking commies

That’s pretty standard for states and cities and certainly not exclusive to California. If you work in a state, you pay taxes there. Columbus taxes any pro athlete, entertainer, and/or public speakers for even a single day worked in the city.

Ummm, more like under 26 pro league, but, yeah.

Not just you, but what's with all the Indiana hate on this site?

No hate for Hoosiers but if Cignetti started at Purdue or Minnesota I believe he succeeds just the same it’s more Cignetti than Indiana.

In what other states has an athlete has competed at the highest level, won the championship and ended up owing money?

He would have owed California tax for playing there on Sunday either way just for playing there. The winning/bonus isn’t what caused the tax

Would you get in trouble for virtually shooting Taylor Swift and Mahomes in this brave new world?

Asking for a friend.

Lawyers need to get paid, so, pretty soon, these AI creations will have individual "human" rights". My advice is Sicarius emptor.

Which was $5.3M this year. And he got $32M for signing with the Seahawks. I simply can't muster any tears for him for some reason.

The check for winning the game helped him pay the tax. I don't see what the problem is.
