Super Bowl LX players lose thousands to California's 'jock tax' on athlete income

Players who will take the field for Super Bowl LX on Sunday will face a significant tax bill due to the game's location triggering what's known as a "jock tax."

Super Bowl LX will be played in Santa Clara, California, and the Golden State is one of a number of states that has implemented a so-called jock tax on professional athletes, which assesses taxes on players based on the number of days they spend playing or practicing in a given jurisdiction – including those away from their home state.
