B) live there 6 months plus a day and Cali will have a say in that matter
That's the test for residency. You can and will be taxed as a non-resident and there's no minimum stay requirement.
States tax non-residents based on what they earn while in the state. That's why NH residents who work over the line in MA pay income tax to MA even if they've never spent a night in MA. Ditto for athletes, musicians, etc. When the Patriots play a game in California, California gets to tax the game check all the non-Cali players earn that day.
Technically that's true for peons like us but (1) California (or whatever state) has no idea when we are in the state and so can't enforce it, and (2) for the vast majority of us, several days' work wouldn't be enough income to be taxable because of exemptions, thresholds, etc.

A) It's winter
B) live there 6 months plus a day and Cali will have a say in that matter
C) Athletes are moving out of Cali, not in, due to the state's progressive tax code
D) Slightly off topic...but revenue needy states are changing the laws to claim more tax revenue from part time residents. Minnesota's governor wants the threshold to be 2 months. Own a lake house in Minn. and spend the summer, the Gov. wants a piece of that action.
The rich are fleeing Cali, NY, IL, Maryland all because these cash strapped states won't make cuts. Texas says thank you. Lesson over

OTOH, many states (though I can't say all) have reciprocity agreements. For example, since I sometimes worked in NY while living in CT, I had to pay income taxes to NY (as a non-resident) but could count them against my CT taxes.

I was under the impression that athletes were taxed on a pro-rated amount dependent on the state (and city or county in some cases) that corresponded to their team's schedule. For example an NFL player receives 16 game checks; 8 taxed locally (Foxboro), one in Seattle WA, one in Buffalo NY, one in Miami FL, etc.
Is that the same thing, or something different?
Yes, the same thing. NFL players only receive their "normal" salary paychecks during the season so it's pretty easy to allocate to the tax jurisdiction of each game location.

Yea, this is the guy who came out of college with "character concerns." How wrong they were.
It was nothing to do with his character, it had everything to do with his testing positive for marijuana. I still will never understand why they test for THC, if I was a football player I would WANT the opposing team to be smoking it up all the time. It is not a performance enhancer in any sense of the word, so who cares who is smoking it and who isn't? No one would even know if they didn't test them for it and then announce to the world that they tested positive.
If teams want to test their players for personal reasons then they should, but for the NFL to test and punish for it the same as someone using Steroids, HGH or other PEDs is ridiculous.
