New York teams have a serious disadvantage in pro sports because the state’s tax code makes it impossible for these teams to compete on even terms with their peers when it comes to signing free agents to big contracts.
In the NHL, the Tampa Bay Lightning have become a perennial contender due to a combination of good management and Florida’s favorable tax laws. Top players are willing to sign there for less money than they can get elsewhere because they get to keep more of their income there.

New York teams have a serious disadvantage in pro sports because the state’s tax code Many NY players have "residency" in other states like Florida.
Mr. Jeter, one of the highest-paid players in baseball, filed nonresident income tax returns to New York State between 2001 and 2003, claiming that he lived primarily at his off-season home in Florida, which, unlike New York, has no state income tax.

High taxes because thanks to Hochul and her husband taxpayers are paying for the new billion dollar Bills stadium.

Even if an athlete who plays for a Florida teams plays a game in a state with a state income tax, they pay tax on the money they earned for that game.

Many NY players have "residency" in other states like Florida. Yes, but they're taxed based on where the income is earned, not where the residence is. If you play for a NY NFL team, you play roughly half your games in NY so roughly half your income is subject to NY state tax regardless of your state of residence.

It would be interesting if enough opposing players just refused to play in NY and other high tax states. Offer to play in a different stadium in a more reasonable tax state. And let it be known exactly why.
To: tlozo
That's true. But a professional athlete still has to pay New York State (and City, for NYC teams) income taxes for the income they get paid for home games (roughly 50% of their income).
Big-name players like Derek Jeter don't establish residency in Florida primarily for the purpose of reducing the taxes they pay on the other 50% of their income. They do it so they can report the income from their huge endorsement deals (Nike, Ford, etc.) outside of New York.
To: Round Earther
That’s exactly right. And that goes down to the city level, too. I read somewhere that a typical NBA player files something like 26 separate tax returns every year — Federal, multiple states, multiple big cities, etc.

Yes, but they're taxed based on where the income is earned, not where the residence is. If you play for a NY NFL team, you play roughly half your games in NY so roughly half your income is subject to NY state tax regardless of your state of residence. Yes, but its still a tremendous reduction in taxes. Also its only 81 home games.

Amazingly, perhaps this football player’s leaving that New York State tax/regulation hell will FINALLY inspire those remaining NYS citizens to challenge and beat back the insanely high taxes and levels of regulation.

I have no sympathy for the Democrat voting people of any race. Let them eat shite for all I care. If you track sports players voting habit, it will be for Democrats. Who they donate to? Democrats. Maybe they should come off the Democrat plantation, and help others be free.
