Poppy on kids sports kits

[HelenHen]

This seems to be a big thing now, but seems very unfair.

How can a kid choose to not wear a poppy if its being handed out by their coach before a game?

Not everybody chooses to wear a poppy, for whatever reason... many people do and that's totally ok... but it seems harder and harder for kids to make the choice.

Yes you’re biased @Cromwell1905.

I’d be disturbed if my child thought that wearing a poppy magically benefitted the dead of ‘good wars’.

It doesn’t and I have not said that, it does however benefit those who have been wounded in war

It was a choice on my child’s team. They were told they didn’t need to wear it and it was their choice. Everyone did wear it. But it was their choice.
