Wow, look at that. It’s just another example of a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers being a model citizen. (Calm down, Pittsburgh Steelers supporters. To put it simply, I identify as one of you. I even wore it on the way into the office this morning. I’m also well-versed in the illustrious history of the franchise’s use of men like these, in addition to its excellent tradition of never having made the playoffs even once* in its first 40 seasons.

As per today’s update (3:30 pm), the Steelers have released Rainey. When treating women, one company has zero tolerance for se*ist scrubs. Players that start as quarterback and linebacker alone. What, then, supposedly transpired this morning? The lovely folks at the Gainesville Police Department sent a message to the public. They even shared it on social media.

Why was Chris Rainey Suspended?

Back-up runner Chris Rainey was an important cog in the wheel for Urban Meyer and the Florida Gators. Rainey, Maurkice, and Mike Pouncey all attended Lakeland High School before committing to the University of Florida in 2006. However, things took a turn for the worse when Chris Rainey was banned from the squad due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

In 2007, when Rainey was a true Gator freshman, he sustained a shoulder injury after just four games. As a result, the Florida Gators decided to sit him out his first year. He played a pivotal role on Meyer’s 2008 SEC championship team and helped the team win the 2009 National Championship Game against Oklahoma.

Chris Rainey, however, had a rough season in 2010. Police said he sent his ex-girlfriend, with whom he had a tumultuous relationship for years, threatening texts and was detained for aggravated stalking.

Reports state that Alachua County Judge Denise Ferrero issued a summons to Chris Rainey. After the hearing, he was given a curfew from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and told not to contact the lady. As a result of his arrest, he was also taken off the team’s active roster. Urban Meyer made the following statements to the media at his news conference:

“There will be a further evlauation as we go. The immedicacy of it is that he’s not with our team.”

Meyer banned Chris Rainey for the next five games after commenting, but he returned to play in the season’s last game, a 34-31 overtime victory against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Troubles followed Chris Rainey to the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected the running back with the 159th overall selection in the 2012 NFL draft. However, after being arrested again, the squad quickly freed him. Rainey’s ex-girlfriend claims he physically assaulted her and filed violence charges against him.

The Gainesville Police Department reported the event and issued a news release. According to their statement, Several eyewitnesses observed Rainey hitting his ex-girlfriend in his roommate’s vehicle. Because of this, the victim got out of the car and fled. When Chris Rainey realized his ex-girlfriend had his phone in her purse, he gave pursuit.
