It is and has never been a political issue..It's a matter of respect.
However it's not something I want to push down anyone's throat except the hypocritical and possibly corrupt throat of Blatter.

But that's got nothing to do with wearing poppies in an international football match...
I don't think anyone is opposed to showing respect. What some people are saying is that FIFA have every right, and are right to not bow down to pressure from one nation to be granted an exception to an otherwise sensible rule.
What I do oppose to is the political affront and holier than thou attitude that some people are taking when an international body refuses to march to a regional band. It's bad enough that people are being pressured into wearing poppies in the UK. Leave the rest of the world out of it please.
