I think we should stick up for our freedom from the corrupt FIFA

The poppy is not a political symbol. It doesn't represent any political party or viewpoint. It is a symbol to remember the war dead of all wars be they civilians, troops, politicians, lefties, righties. Everybody.

If they were saying you can't commemorate something like wearing a symbol just for the falklands war or just the Iraq war it would be different. But it's not, the poppy is all inclusive.
