He shows how Colin had the right to do what he did, but also why the Sheriff believes it was a poor decision, and why it is, justifiably so, a controversial action that is offensive to many.
I was under the impression that offending as many people as possible was a good thing. I guess these offended people just need a comfy safe space.

There is a huge difference between SJW's being triggered and what is happening here. SJW's who are offended try to silence or criminalize the behavior of the offensive speaker. That is not what's happening to Colin Kapernick. People are disagreeing with his actions, but they are not saying he should be forced to stand, just that he should personally choose to stand out of respect. That is a mountain of difference akin to the difference between voting for a tax on billionaires to pay to build a government-run orphanage verses personally approaching billionaires to solicit private funds to build and maintain a private orphanage. While the ends may be similar, the means could not be more different. One is compulsive, the other is voluntary. One is adversarial, the other is cooperative.
