      That’s the California way.

      Curious if NIL money is treated sort of the same way in California? That has to be a disincentive if so.

        Good question.  It should be.  Have no idea.

         

        Have friends who have played pro sports.  Their accounting is an expensive mess.  Baseball is the worst.     sc

      I read Pro tennis players accounting is the ultimate mess.  Playing in many countries and cities dealing with their tax laws.  Pro tennis players need top accountants and tax experts.  Dat cost mucho dinero filing tax returns for each country…  Cheers

      Actually it didn’t but people who don’t get math want to play along so. Sure.  Enjoy the delusion

      Interesting that people that won’t touch a six figure income a year worry about the taxes of a guy that makes $40mill per year. Puzzling.

      the real math, even though I have an accounting background, I hire a CPA to do my taxes, this is how I see it. Anyone with tax code expertise can correct me but if you’re just some message board douche with an agenda you can STFU.

      Assuming ~$40M total comp, 200 duty days, 7 CA days for Super Bowl:

      allocated income ~$1.4M, taxed at 13.3% ≈$186k. Bonus $178k, also taxed in CA ≈$24k, net gain after CA tax ~$146k (before federal/other). Full net depends on credits from home state (WA has no income tax).

        Ya have a hard time believing anyone in here is sub six figures, but who knows.  Maybe if they are retired but even  then.  50 bucks an hour is starting wage according to every recent college grad I have talked to, at least that’s what they were told.  But I get your sentiment.

        fairly simple math but the idiots fall for the headline because it lines up with their agenda and their puny brains can’t think beyond what they are told.

      The State of CA intercepted his pay or did he fumble it? Sometimes life mimics the games we play.
