Explanation:

The question asks for details that explain Andy's motivation for writing the game-day letter.

• "had been busy, too" only states his busyness, not the reason for the letter.
• "only two days before the next game" is a timeline detail, not a motivation.
• "no matter what the principal said" shows his resolve to act independently, but not the direct goal of the letter.
• "to satisfy the protesting players" and "and shame the racist fans" are explicitly stated as the intended powerful outcomes of the letter, which are his direct reasons for wanting to write it.

Answer:

☑️ "to satisfy the protesting players"
☑️ "and shame the racist fans"
