NFL Players Battling Cleveland Over Intercepted Income: Taxes
This article is for subscribers only.
Former Chicago Bears linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer was willing to pay his fair share of taxes to cities where he played. Cleveland, he said, got greedy.
Hillenmeyer and former Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday are suing the city in the Ohio Supreme Court for refunds of $5,062 and $3,294, respectively. They say it’s not the sum that matters but the principle of taxing visiting players based on games played instead of days worked -- including dunning them even when they’re hurt and don’t travel.
