I think calling out ones loyalty because they do not remove their hat is a little silly.
It is a tradition that I choose to follow and I do think less of somebody that chooses to remove their hat. I just find it disrespectful. But then again you are also supposed to place the hat over your heart too and I see few people, including myself, who do that so it is really all just degrees of respect I guess.
I would assume that the guys who don't remove their hats would find the guys who refuse to stand dissrespectful. So hopefully they can see where we are coming from when we don't like it.
