No Poppies at Wembley!

Fifa, an organization plagued by corruption, cover-ups, double-dealing and malfeance of every type has suddenly become sanitized.
The new leadership, which has replaced the disgraced Sepp Blatter, has issued a decree that the English and Scottish soccer teams who meet at Wembley this weekend will NOT be allowed to wear arm bands displaying poppies.
Imagine such hypocrisy!
As an Englishman I am intensely proud of the part that my nation (and my relatives) played in the first world war from whence the symbol of the poppy emerged. I am also very much aware that the game of soccer (short for Association football) was a gift given to the rest of the world by England.
Now, some nameless bureaucrats running a committee already raddled by crookedness of every sort dare tell the British that they cannot wear poppies while they play the game that they themselves invented.
Someone once said that a camel is a committee's definition of a horse. Too true and in the case of NO POPPIES at Wembley we are looking at the rear end of the horse.

Go ahead, boys. Play your game and may you and everyone who watches from the stands sport poppies, LARGE RED ONES.

Jubilate.
