I think Miguel did well by stepping down a bit until he gets better. Unfortunately the media is the number one news source responsible for failed careers and unrealised dreams, just simply by the negative things they say about a star. But here's the thing. When you are scoring shots and being at the top of your game they are all behind you and cheering you on. However, when things start going south: long term injury, low performance, out of form etc. Then you should be ready for the bashing and abuse by the media. It's sensation and it sells. Some fans love reading about that stuff. I think he made the right decision.
