That is not sacrificing. You have to lose you have to suffer.
But even if you really believe he did, can we put that to one side and think of other that have sacrificed?
But leaving that aside, Muhammad Ali comes to mind. Mahmoud Abdul Rauf also comes to mind.

Hell, a young girl went viral just for making a video praising his FOOTBALL ability. He would have for sure been a starting quarterback on another team if no for this protest. I'm sure he has gotten death threats, etc.

Yes, Ali did Sacrifice.

Blackballed In The NBA: The Story Of A Basketball Icon
In 1996 controversy surrounded Abdul-Rauf, known as Chris Jackson prior to his conversion to Islam, when he stated he would not be standing during the national anthem because “he felt the flag stood for tyranny and oppression and it was his decision to no longer stand for something he didn’t believe in.” He also believed standing went against his ****** beliefs.
A compromise was reached so that he could stand and pray facing the east instead of participating int the National Anthem ceremony.

So he didn't sacrifice anything.
Get out of here with that one.
