What is a Diontae Johnson youth football camp without Diontae Johnson? A lawsuit, apparently.
The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was sued in federal court last week by the organizers of a youth camp bearing his name that allegedly had to refund families after he no-showed in May, according to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
FlexWork Sports Management LLC reportedly claims Johnson's lack of attendance subjected it to “significant damages, in the form of refunds, credits, and reputational damage.”
Diontae Johnson's team allegedly told organizers 13 minutes before camp
The camp was reportedly scheduled on May 22 at Cupples Stadium in Pittsburgh, with a $125 admission fee that included a "team photo" with Johnson, a T-shirt and assorted goodies, with more interaction with the Steelers Pro Bowler available for an increased price.
