What;s Your Opinion

FIFA Tried to ban the Poppies? although this Q may be late, what's your opinion?

[Baldric]

As it was Football related I didn't take that much notice of it. As I understand it they tried to ban them because they said they were a Political Symbol/Emblem.
As a Former Royal Marine I have never seen the Poppy in that light.
Maybe something to do with some of them being on the side that came second, twice.

FIFA were wrong.

Fiddling In Football Always - yes they were wrong, but they're idiots, so heigh-ho.

The wearing of poppies should be a personal choice.
No one should be told to wear one, or not wear one.
The ones with a problem are those who want to make others think and behave in a way that THEY'VE decided is correct.

FIFA are out of touch with reality.

I would have Indicated it with a Capital " V" to FIFA

FIFA were wrong, but we should have accepted it and just worn black armbands.
