Story summary
  • The Seattle Seahawks face tax burdens after their Super Bowl victory because California's Jock Tax reduces $178,000 bonuses.
  • California taxes depend on duty days in the state, which could leave quarterback Sam Darnold owing $249,000.
  • If the Seahawks had lost, Darnold would still pay over $235,000 in taxes, resulting in a $135,000 loss.
  • Critics question whether future Super Bowls should be held in California due to high tax rates.
