Rather like Muslims accept they must stick rigidly to a ban on making images of the prophet and get quite worked up when others fail to observe that maxim, so some people in Britain got quite worked up when players were told they should not during their game(s) observe the (unofficial) UK mandatory practice of wearing images depicting a flower in part associated with military battle(s). This is only an issue in and for the UK, very few others have the slightest idea what the ritual consists of.
