So Ricky Nixon stands down as a player manager and checks into rehab to deal with personal problems.
Seems to me that going to rehab is now the social equivalent of declaring bankruptcy. It's just a massive copout so that people can't come after you because you've got 'problems'.
Edit: Should clarify that I don't think going to rehab is a copout, just the way it is used by some people in the spotlight.
