The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from the city of Cleveland over its formula for taxing visiting professional athletes who work in the city. The justices let stand a lower court ruling that said the city's method based on the share of games that are played violates players' due process rights. The Ohio Supreme Court earlier ruled the city must assess taxes based on players' Cleveland work as a share of their total number of working days per year, not just their games, as is common elsewhere.
