And yet, military personnel and firemen are cited as people who can wear flag patches. So, who exposes those patches to adverse conditions more, sports officials or firemen?

Serious question: For those of you who adamantly oppose the Flag patch on umpire uniforms, how many of you do ASA ball, and have you removed the Flag off of the hat or gotten a customized ASA hat that doesn't have the Flag on it?
