FlexWork agreed on my behalf and emailed all camp attendees that day offering refunds for those that didn\u2019t want to attend the other camp option.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last part conflicts with the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/flexwork-sports-fumbled-tetairoa-mcmillan-youth-football-camp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reporting regarding the timing of the notification<\/a>, and regarding the claim from some parents that they never received word that the camp had been canceled.<\/p>\n<p>And so the lesson to be learned is this \u2014 if a player commits to a camp (or any other appearance that entails fans paying a fee) and then can\u2019t make it, make sure to follow up with the event organizer to ensure that the cancellation was handled properly. In this case, McMillan dropped the ball when it comes to ensuring that FlexWork Sports didn\u2019t drop the ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During his first press conference of training camp, Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan addressed his failure to show up&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":791561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-791560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
