True, but they can deny you the ability to work certain games if you fail to comply to uniform standards. In my state, one of those standards is the IAABO patch. Of course, nobody can make me wear it. But if I don't wear it, it won't be too long before I am censured by my association and put on probation, which means I can't work HS games.

So while Rut's statement is true, it misses the context of the original question. If your association says the flag is a mandatory part of the uniform, then you can wear it and work games or you can refuse and retire.
