Fifa have banned the England football team from having a poppy on their shirts when they play this coming weekend, claiming it is a political symbol. It is nothing of the sort and I hope the England team ignore the ban, perhaps Fifa are confusing it with the red rose, which is now a political symbol.
This is the third thread about this. FIFA's not confusing it with the rose at all, the rose is worn on the England rugby shirts after all. They're cutting it a bit fine to get embroidered poppies on their shirts now (they can hardly wear the pin version, they might stab each other).
