Is this true?

Sam Darnold LOST money paying California taxes by playing in the Super Bowl?!?!……lol wow

The NFLPA should refuse to play there

That is why so many call it the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia

Yep. Its true. The players associations should demand the NFL ban california from future super bowl sites.

Yes and no. Like I said elsewhere, Darnold is in a unique situation because he is a resident of California and hit an incentive of millions in his contract by winning a championship and it hurt worse since it was in his home state. His state tax is based on his prorated salary too. Sure, he took a hit in a perfect storm but still made a fortune in the end. The California Franchise Tax Board will nickel and dime you to death as I have had many ru-ins with them. They would tax the amount of air I breathe if they could get away with it.
