In this segment, we're discussing the state of California's jock tax and its impact on professional athletes. Sam Darnold, the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, recently owed the state $70,000 for the privilege of playing in the Super Bowl. The state's jock tax, which is one of the most aggressive in the country, takes a percentage of an athlete's salary based on the number of duty days they spend in the state. We're exploring the implications of this tax and how it's affecting athletes and the states that are trying to lure them with similar tax deals.
