Poppy contagion

Watching the sport on Sky last weekend, switching to the NFL coverage and discovered the US presenters were wearing poppies, Why? Turned over later to La Liga coverage and the presenters here again were wearing poppies.

I can understand that the all-embracing poppy political correctness has taken over British Television in the weeks running up to remembrance Sunday, but why does it have to include US and international presenters?

Maybe they should read this article from 2011 by Robert Fisk, before falling for the Poppy police conformity.
