Athletes, especially when they’re up for a new contract and don’t completely go about things as though business is usual, tend to take a lot of criticism that might not be entirely deserved. Of course, sometimes that criticism is leveled an athlete for more valid reasons—such as not showing up to a football camp he was supposed to host.
That is what Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson did earlier this year, back in May, and now he’s being sued over his non-appearance by the company who organized the event for him, to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars in compensation for admissions reimbursements and a number of other factors, including damage to their reputation.
