Personally I'm more offended by those who just blow the National Anthem off entirely, don't remove their cap, talk through it etc...
By personal risk, I really hope you're not referring to his football career. Because that was in the crapper long before he started all this protest stuff. This just gives him something to blame his career crash on when nobody will touch him instead of taking responsibility because he truly sucks.

I think he believes in what he's doing, regardless of career you run the risk of being pilloried in the media as he is...

I'm not defending the guy but for those freaking out it's just drawing attention to the issue which is his entire point.
