The NFL should be taking notes here! Imagine Theresa May coming out saying United and Premier Legaue should fire players who refuse to wear it!

This is a great point / comparison to make. If sport is going to have space for politics, then the players should have the freedom to express themselves in whatever way they want.

If I made this same comment on an NFL related account and made this comparison, I’ll let you imagine the kind of hate tweets I’d be getting right now. There is a culture of fear in our world at the moment.

Yeah it's strange how highlighting real problems in the country is taken by a lot of people as a criticism of the entire nation itself

the 'poppy police' are ridiculous, the fact anyone has to explain why they aren't wearing a poppy when its a personal choice
-
Tell that to the dead who fought for you and your cat to live a peaceful life

I wear a Poppy & donate money every year, I just dislike how vile some people can be to those who choose not to

Hate how people have to justify themselves when not doing a voluntary act

It's a disgrace. Ignorant cavemen spotting hatred over something which is entirely personal

Can't imagine what Chelsea fans would have said about him

He's not black so wouldn't be as bad

The sacrifices made by service personnel are, in part, about preserving our way of life and freedom of choice. The Poppy is a personal choice that, as a service man, I will defend either way.

Stupid that people are respecting his decision and James McLean’s is still apparently “Abysmal” even though his excuse is similar
-
Not excusing the abuse McLean gets at all but the history of Irish/British violence isn't taught here. A lot of people have no context except the IRA and assume that McLean must be supporting their terrorist actions by not wearing a poppy
-
No his Family were killed by British Soldiers so putting on the Poppy for him is literally showing a sign of respect to the ones that murdered his family
-
I know, read my tweet, I'm just pointing out that we get zero information in school or in mainstream media about those events so for many people, the only thing they know about is the IRA bombings. As I said, I'm not excusing those who abuse him, they are fucking idiots
-
Also the same people who don't care about Matic won't care about anyone else not wearing one. It's weird to assume the people saying it's fine for Matic to do it are the same people who hate other's not doing it.
