Oh but he most certainly is voicing his opinion when he kneels. He went out and stated his reasoning for doing it. So every time that he knelt, he was repeating that statement in his actions. His actions are his voice. Don't try to change that because he isn't vocally saying it on the sideline. But I believe that I have seen the NFL policy on player conduct during the anthem. I haven't verified to see if that policy actually exists. But assuming that it does, the policy that I saw posted says that players are to be standing with their hand on their chest. He would definitely be in violation of that.
