Another reason...
I remember someone saying well if they outlaw shades what about Phil Laak with his sweatshirt that covers him all up.

Well Phil got mixed up with Gus in a hand on PAD Cash game and put his "shield" up. After the hand was completed Doyle started in on how when Phil hides his face in his sweatshirt it is really BS. That it should be illegal.

Why would he say this?

Because it ruins the game. It is an advantage that goes against the spirit of the game. Live poker is not the same as online poker. They SHOULD be different. When you stop thinking of poker as a card game and think of it as a people game it seems clear to me that hiding shouldn't be allowed.

For me... this is extended to tinted glasses etc. While I understand you could agree on the rest and still think sunglasses are ok. The players have a lot of power in this game and if we came together and said "this is bad for the game" you can change perceptions.
