No they are not. Here is a list of patriotic organizations. I am sure there are more organizations which are not on the list but you can read the descriptions of the organizations and see that sports officials/officials' associations do not belong with the other groups.
Patriotic Organizations, American organizations and clubs, public service.
Sports officiating and flags really don't go together at all. If someone is patriotic why does that need to be shown to all while they are officiating a game?
