It's state income tax. You work in California you pay their income tax. It shouldn't be controversial
Wasn't aware of this. Says that if the Cavs have to travel back to GSW, the players, coaches, trainers, etc. have to pay a tax to California. Says that it's even more than some of those traveling will make.
Probably not 100% unbiased article. But interesting.

Because it's a flat tax at the highest rate. According to the article, a trainer is paying the same rate as the athlete.
Unlike the application of the tax to residents where it's based on income.
That being said, I'm wondering if the article is wrong on that point.
The history of jock taxes has its roots in the 1960s, but its heyday began in earnest in 1991, when California assessed state income taxes on the Chicago Bulls for games played in California. Not coincidentally, that was the year Michael Jordan's Bulls beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. Illinois came up with its own jock taxes, which pundits called Michael Jordan's Revenge.
What's this my Lakers brothers? First you rush the floor for Jordan then you tax him? That's must like a dirty behavior there
