Steelers quarterback and media villain Ben Roethlisbeger is apparently unhappy about the way his hometown treated him during his most recent round of sexual assault allegations. So unhappy, in fact, that he is erasing it from his official biographies.

Prior to this offseason, Roethlisberger’s hometown had been officially listed as Findlay, Ohio. However, after Roethlisberger was accused of rape in Georgia earlier this year (no charges were filed), some Findlay residents aired their doubts about his character publicly. Now, Roethlisberger’s hometown has changed in the Steelers media guide to the non-existent Corey Rawson, OH. Roethlisberger attended Cory-Rawson school as a child.

In the wake of Tiger Woods’ infidelity scandal, one of sports columnist Bill Simmons’ readers floated the idea that the golfer embrace his new-found villainy and live a life of rampaging destruction. Could this be the first sign of Roethlisberger taking this advice to heart? (via PFT)
