keepitcovert 842 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Its a matter of freedom of choice, one of the reasons you have that freedom of choice is the sacrifice all those who lost their lives made, so exercise that choice if you want to , and do not be dictated to by a bunch of corrupt money grabbing officials hiding behind a corrupt organisation, FIFA. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lanesra 3,961 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 People slated James McClean for not wearing a poppy . . Well I admired his stance , I just hope the English players have the same stance & recognise there fore-fathers for the sacrifices they made , which is what the poppy is all about , those from all sides who lost there lives , I think football is a great way to show respect . As for FIFA we all know what there about !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No-one's going to take the poppy away.My biggest concern is that it's becoming hijacked by zealots and plastic patriots who seek to dictate to others what it is to be British.., or by a type of sickening, terrified to offend anyone liberalists that seem to be everywhere and with too much to say. I think FIFA are right not to cave. If they did then maybe the Germans will ask for swastikas on their shirts to remember their dead next.., maybe African nations will want badges to commemorate their slave ancestors.., where does it all end.
