This isn't just a California thing. It's been going on for ages in all states that have taxes. Sports Illustrated covered it a while back.

The Darnold thing's a bit misleading, since the Seahawks also played in CA during the regular season, and that tax amount is the total he has to pay for the entire year (including his salary, playoff bonuses, and SB bonus).

The discussion of Newsom's handling of that tax revenue, on the other hand, is pretty legit.

Seattle had road games in Santa Clara and Inglewood and Santa Clara again for the Super Bowl

8 home games in Seattle
2 road games in CA plus super bowl

I count 3 games in CA

regular season is 17 games plus 2 playoff home games

where is the super bowl next year? Inglewood

Meanwhile, California is spending an estimated $9.5 billion this year alone on healthcare— for illegal immigrants through Medi-Cal.
