It’s ok.. He can afford it… Bruh makes $4 million per year… But still… You win the Super Bowl in California, you must pay more in taxes than your actual winnings… Bruh got a $188,000 bonus for winning the game in San Francisco.. Now he owes California $202,000… Do you see how stupid this is?
Sam Darnold could pay more California taxes on his Super Bowl appearance than he earns for playing.
