Remember when people started with the antenna flags and then flying them off a window attachment? Now, do you remember how dirty they became and tattered?
You want to hold the flag up as a matter of respect and honor and patriotism, the first thing you should worry about is to applying that same respect and honor to that symbol. Attaching it to anything including an athletic uniform or hat or glove or whatever where it will become soiled or damaged is just as disrespectful as throwing it to the ground.

I support any uniformed organization that wishes to display the Flag. But that's because I spent 30 years in the military.

When I was in the military, the flag was not part of the uniform, nor were you allowed to attach it to any part of your uniform.
