Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is being sued after he did not show up at a youth football camp that he had previously agreed to host, a federal lawsuit acquired by Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says.
In the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, FlexWork Sports Management LLC claims that Johnson’s no-show to the late May camp subjected the company to “significant damages, in the form of refunds, credits, and reputational damage.”
The camp was set to take place at Cupples Stadium on the South Side of Pittsburgh, with a $125 admission fee to include a “team photo” with Johnson, in addition to a camp T-shirt and “take home items from event sponsors.” Prior to the camp, there were multiple conversations between the host company and Johnson.
