Do pro athletes try to avoid playing for Canadian teams ?

[h=1]The AOC Effect: California’s High Taxes Cost The San Francisco Giants Bryce Harper[/h]
A $330 million business was trying to come to San Francisco, but the fiscal recklessness of the government of California deprived its residents of this lucrative enterprise.
Reportedly, the Giants final bid to hire Bryce Harper was $310 million, but the Giants’ front office would have gone higher if only California’s high taxes didn’t make it too expensive for San Francisco’s baseball team to compete with Harper’s after-tax incentive to play for the Phillies.

a) no athlete is heading up north because of the tremendous canadian healthcare system (note sarcasm)
b) you drove from one shit hole, Detroit, to a second shit hole, Toledo...and expected the road connecting them to be fantastic?

I was giving examples of why we pay more tax. Not reasons why athletes would come here.
