I don't think they ought to be told to refrain from displaying the flag. They should just do it in a way that's mindful of the effects it will have, and in a way that is (paradox coming up here) proud yet with humility. You can be proud of your own accomplishments, and of representing the country that helped you get where you are, without shoving it in everyone's face and going "boo-yah!"
