Why Namanja Matic was right not to where the poppy.
Nemanja Matic was reciving backlash for not wearing the poppy. This is due to the misinformation that people think the poppy is to honor Ww1 soliders. It actually states in the official holiday that it honors troops that fought in any war inbetween the time periods of about 1890 to 1945. Those wars Include The serbian war, The irish war of independence ( Which is why James Mclean doesn't where the poppy) and The indian protests just to name a few. The people who fought in Ww1 are heroes and deserved to be honored. But do people in Ireland who shot innocent civilians and protesters do. Do people who bombarded serbia and killed women and children do. Do people who masscared peacful protesters in India due. HELL NO. If it was to honor WW1 veterans theb everyone would wear it but its not that simple.

Matic is very proud of where he's from and he's unafraid to show it. A real leader both on and off the field.
The Serbian war was after 45
Also Serbia was part of Yugoslavia in 39-45 and a lot of them died at the hands of the Germans so matic should be ashamed of not remembering his countrymen and to the rest of you learn your history before you make stupid comments !!
