Whether anyone's opinion is right or wrong is irrelevant to the point I was making. It is a simple matter of fact that the footballer in question was abused for not wearing a poppy. The whole point of the thread is that some people feel that the poppy symbol has become politicised and there is, in the words of the article I linked, a 'poppy facism' that is a genuine concern for some people. To dismiss that as not being factual is wrong as is proven by the link I provided.
