Actually, however it was stated by a spokesman, I think that they linked arms more as an act of “solidarity,” reaffirming bonds of racial equality in the face of so many efforts to divide us. They did not want to be “played” by politicians and made to stand for anybody’s anthem. So it was a dignified and defiant statement of personal and team integrity and racial solidarity — not a “demand” — that unfortunately was met by booing of racists or other foolish spectators already primed to misunderstand.
