They're the ones who started with petty shit like making him pay for court time and tennis balls
That's like you criticising your boss for something you feel strongly about and instead of him responding to it or taking a more nature approach to dealing with said criticism (some of Pat's change management due here), he says well you can pay for your own coffee at lunch breaks and use your own internet access now - fkin playground mentality.
Obviously there's been shit going on, hence their unwillingness to respond or it would be as simple as shutting him down with the cold hard facts - guessing these probably don't work in TAs favour though. Glad he had a go at them, need more sports stars who tell it like it is (Mick Malthouse etc.) instead of letting corruption and bullshit go on in sport because people are worried about losing their overpaid salaries.
