I would guess that a substantial fraction wish they had not paid for the politicized game. I would also guess that the rare person in the audience who wanted to link arms was as afraid of trying as they would have been of making a pass at the guy next to them.
I don’t even hold hands during the “Our Father” at Mass, so I can imagine a lot of guys there would not take kindly to the idea of doing that fag crap at a game.
