Earlier this week, former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow was signed to a minor league contract with the New York Mets.
Several minor league players were a bit pissed off that Tebow was given a huge $100k signing bonus even though he hasn’t played competitive baseball since high school.
So Tim Tebow signed for 100k? Glad to know a guy who hasn't played baseball for 10 years is worth 100x more than I was as a player. #brutal

Every minor leaguer gives up so much to chase their dreams, @TimTebow doesn't even have to give up his day job. #justnotright

Tebow probably doesn’t deserve $100k based on his playing ability but he’s going to bring thousands of people to the stadium and the team will easily recoup that money.
