What do you think of state taxes being enforced on athletes that play in another  state fot 2-3 days?

You earn money based in the state you are employed.  Many employees are expected to go out of state for training or conferences.\n\nIf you get millions (plus) for your JOB, then going out of state for that job is still taxable.  Be it a game or a desk job.\n\nYes, they need to pay state taxable income, if that state requires it. If they don't dig it, go to another state to play.

They won't get rid of this moronic system due to arrogance and pride.  What has to happen is fans quit watching.  Quit going to games.  Quit watching televised games.  Boycott the system and it will change; once the money dries up and they can't pay the players it has to.  Yes, I know we're talking about college ball.  If you think the players aren't being paid, you are quite naive.

Definitely. When a high school applicant signs his letter of intent to accept a college scholorship he is signing a contract.\nWhen a school spends so much to teach and develop an athlete he should at least hold up his end of the business agreement by finishing at least three years of college.\n\nIn the end the college athlete gets an education and learns about honoring business agreements, trust and loyalty. Otherwise, we should have football minor leagues as baseball does.\n\nI really admire athletes like Peyton Manning that stay the full 4 years of their college even though big money was offered to jump ship early. Part of that shows his strength of character and commitment which are lacking in some of the best athletes today. Besides once injury or other career changing events occur, what does the athlete do if he has no degree and other skills/training to offer a propective employer. Also, the athlete needs to know how to invest and seek other business adventures with the money he earns. Just turning ovre his money to a financial rep can lead to great losses swindling his account.\n\nLook at the difference between Manning and Leaf drafted #1 and #2 in the same year. San Diego sure learned the lesson didn't they?

that's called free enterprise and capitalism at its finest. alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are 3 things you could get busted for selling across state lines because of the tax and registration implications.

It depends.\n\nSome funds are used to support charitable causes.  The leagues given collective baragining agreement defines some of this.\n\nLeagues do try to avoid the perception that they are fining players to generate revenue or exectuve bonuses.

I think anything they can do to prevent steroids is great!I think at first it would be a huge blow up but after a while players would just accept it and learn to play with their natural talent.

THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO KEEP THEM FIT.\nI DONT THINK QUITE MANY MATCHES WILL AFFECT PLAYERS..\nMOST OF THE TIME..THE INJURY OCCURS UN-EXPECTEDLY.\nBUT ONETHING..\nPLAYERS SHOULD NOT TRY TO OPERATE OR DISPLAY THEIR SKILLS BEYOND THEIR ABILITY TO IMPRESS ANYBODY.

I think that the dress code is a little out of control. However, I do understand why it was implemented. I mean these dudes make millions of dollars a year, and they show up to a game in a white t-shirt and some jeans.... I think that the sanctions included in the dress code are a bit too strict. I don't feel like the players should have to dress up in a suit and tie. A casual but professional look would have been just fine.

you would pay taxes in the state you live in

I really think this is a lose lose situation for us in Minnesota...I just don't think taxpayers will go for it..it's really the way of today...coorporate and owners will wait until taxpayers give in..and I just don't think it will happen

I think any state that has state taxes taxes servicemen.  Most states don't tax servicemen who are deployed to a warzone.

Yes, I think that is a great idea.  Why should people who live in the midwest have to pay for some rich person's vacation home, because it was obliterated by a hurricane?  If you are going to choose to live in an area, you should be willing to accept the consequences of what comes along with it!  You can't have the best of both worlds!  Coastal areas don't pay for my snowplowing!  I definitely think some areas get LOTS more federal dollars because they live in areas that tend to have catastrophic weather more often, yet they don't pay higher taxes due to living in a higher risk area.  NOT FAIR!!

I think the $100,000 ceiling was based on a different time and needs adjustment, but penalizing people for making money is a bad idea.  If you can take a job that pays 90,000 and actually keep the same amount of money that pays 100,000, there is a problem.\n\nNational sales tax, anyone??

I think they should be banned from the hall of fame and also stripped of any records they hold. I think they should be allowed to continue to play after a first offense but banned from baseball after a second offense. The key issue is the accuracy of the tests and frequency. If it's possible there was a falso positive or a truely accidental positive then thats reasonable once. Still tarnishs any records they held.

All athletes face temptation in their quest to get ahead.  They are protected by their organization which is why laws need to be changed and actually enforced.  Owners are reluctant to kick them off the team because then they're not getting their money's worth, but this has to change.

Well nothing said of the pay they get but my best guess would be to start issuing team fines for those who don't come to practice. What happens if your team doesn't have 25 players? After all some players might get pissed and quit when they start getting punished for it.
