No, thats what I’m saying!

I’m saying that FIFA can’t do that because it’s impossible. You’ve focussed on how angry you are that I’ve said they should cancel Remembrance Day, when I have done no such thing.

Im arguing they need to decide where they stand on things, because like Remembrance Day, football is already part of the world.

Remembrance Day is not part of the world. 99.9:% of the world do not commemorate it, just as they don’t commemorate Bastille Day or a host of other events. Maybe you find May 1st problematic as it was brought about by politics which cost tens of millions of lives?

Its nothing to do with how I feel about it, but don’t let that stop you fixating on exactly the same point and missing the wider context.

You are the one completely at odds with any sensible statement here. You don’t really deserve the freedoms you have because of the sacrifices of them people we are commemorating. You are fixated on LGBTQ+ rights and somehow equating a struggle for that with people giving their lives for their country.
 
I have to say that I have never once thought of politics when making the short Journey into George Square on remembrance Sunday.

I bow my head to the fallen,some of whom were family members,(we all have them),who gave up their lives for us to continue living ours..

The fact that FIFA object to the wearing of a poppy but allow the taking of the knee turns me cold and simply reinforces my desire for them to be kicked into touch immediately upon completion of this corrupt World Cup!!!

To clarify, at no point have I dismissed the sacrifices.

You really are clueless and coming out with stupid statements. Just be grateful people like my parents gave up 6 years of their lives, and other lost theirs, to ensure you had the freedom to spout your drivel. Should every event be cancelled round te World be cancelled because politics was involved?

What has Remembrance Day, something commemorating the fallen and not a political event, to do with politics? And commemoration is confined to this country and its citizens.

yes it is
but it means you can't say keep politics out of football when it's something you disagree with innit

What political event is it? Why should it be deemed political? Should Bastille Day not be commemorated or the 4th July because they are problematic to some numbnuts as they are connected to political events?
