Totally agree with you onthis one. It has almost become part of olympic tradition for an athlete to wave his or her country's flag as a celebration of who they represent in the arena. I don't really think ppl who watch the olympics would be as "uncivilized" to view an american athlete or any athlete waving their flas as a threat.
