This Is Insane! California’s Jock Tax on Super Bowl Players

NFL players receive a salary of $178,000 for playing in the Super Bowl. California has a jock tax, so for working a week in California, they not only get taxed on the $178,000, but they also get taxed on their whole salary.

So, a typical player will probably lose a good $70,000 for playing in the Super Bowl in California.
