So what about people that share his views at a football match then? Do they shout during

Minutes silence? What would happen if they did?

Fact is Wigan agree to support this today, they have minutes silence, armed forces laying wreaths on the pitch, shirts with poppies.

If he doesn't want to support something his company that employs him are supporting that day in such a public matter then they are right to send him home.
