Omfg I just saw someone say that the only thing that didn’t turn blue in this election was the reflecting pool, and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂😂😂

Agreed. A dollar of cap space is worth the same in every market. Florida's tax break belongs to the player, not the team.
What surprises me is how nobody talks about the RCA. Canadian teams can put part of a player's salary into a Retirement Compensation Arrangement. Once he retires outside Canada, he withdraws it at roughly 25%. Net result: the same tax as "no tax" Florida, sometimes less. And far less than New York, Massachusetts or California.
But sure, keep calling Canada a tax nightmare. #WeAreGoldStar!

@JoshERock Interesting comment - I follow this stuff because some of it leads the union organizing.

Well, after almost 8 years, today is my last day at HuffPost. I was laid off as part of the 33% cuts at BuzzFeed. The entire video team at HuffPost has also been eliminated. Here’s to the future!
