Avery isn't an especially likeable guy, but he's one of the few people willing to point out some of the more foolish attitudes common among players in the league.
Yeah, I am not an Avery fan by any means, but the tone that I read it in is more about him acknowledging his own folly/ignorance, and not about preaching or whining about any kind of injustice. Especially the part about him feeling like he needed to buy an expensive vehicle to fit in better.
