I’m sure most of you have heard that it actually cost Seahawks QB to play in and win the Super Bowl.

Just going off memory, but the winners each get $178.000.

California has a “Jock-Tax” that takes into consideration their annual salary and bases the income tax off salary / game pay while in state / # of days working in state. (I think they used 5 for the Super Bowl)

The grand total was near $248,000 dollars tax. So Sam Darnold paid in close to $72,000 more than he won in the SB.

Some are saying the NFLPA is going to tell the NFL, no more SBs in California. It’s insane what California has come to.


It’s the off-season, what mean I say ???

That is highway robbery, and the national sports leagues should start banning games being played in the state until they remove that bullshit from their tax code.

CA has a dem invented idea that the top two vote getting candidates get to campaign as the final candidates (I may have some of that verbage wrong, but you get the idea). Last I looked, both of those spots were held by GOP candidates. That would be interesting to see in CA.

State income tax.

I know this could get political, but I’m looking at the football aspect of it.

The NFLPA, can they can Super Bowls from there? I don’t think they have enough power, unless full fledge strike by all players, not just the SB playing teams.

It’s a very raw deal for Darnold, the League is all about the money so i don’t see some sort of pay increase to tax status of said state.

They can have all of the superbowls down here in Florida or any state with no income taxes.

It's a simple fix,unless you want to boost those game checks to offset the taxes.


You get what you v%$e for.
 
The jock tax originated because of Micheal Jordan

The "
jock tax" is a state-level income tax levied on visiting professional athletes, originating from a 1991 dispute where California taxed Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls for income earned during the NBA Finals in Los Angeles. In retaliation, Illinois passed "Michael Jordan's Revenge," taxing athletes from states that taxed Illinois residents.

It's surprising that it still exists and players unions from all sports haven't made a bigger deal about it.

I think

California waved his “Jock-Tax” as cost prohibiting, gave him a free pass into the state…………..

PS: Now if they would have included “Jock-Itch”, they may have gotten something from him…………..

Maybe with this being brought to the attention of the players, there will be a SB Tax clause in their contracts.

HellA, Cam may want to re-negotiate his current contract to reflect that.

I don’t think Cam needs to worry about this. He ain’t nowhere close to playing in a SB with this team.
