[EL] Anonymity as a form of speech

[Sean Parnell]

There's nothing terribly political/policy-oriented about this observation,
just thought it interesting in light of the various discussions and
different perspectives related to anonymous speech we've had here. At the
Colorado Rockies stadium (others too I'd expect), fans are prohibited from
wearing anything that conceals their face, as a post-911 security measure.
This of course prevents unhappy fans from wearing bags over their heads as a
way to protest the team's rather poor performances, similar to the old
'Aint's' of the NFL (pre-Sean Payton, of course):

Who knew that anonymity is itself a form of speech?
