Boys Don’t Cry | Harvard Independent
Ask any Major League Baseball fan, and they will tell you that the Los Angeles Dodgers have an unfair advantage. With the highest payroll in the league and a roster stacked with talent, the team consistently makes headlines. One miscommunication, however, sparked questions about the team’s chemistry. In a June 24 game against the Minnesota Twins, Shohei Ohtani, widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, took the mound.
Fall ’25 Recap of Indy Sports Coverage
Let’s face the facts: Harvard rarely makes national headlines for its sports culture. Aside from the one obvious exception—“The Game”—realistically, the average Harvard student would seldom find themselves on the other side of the Charles River. However, that does not mean Harvard College lacks a sports culture entirely. For Harvard sports enthusiasts, even if they are few and far between, being a student puts them at the center of excellent athletic entertainment.
Sex Ed as an Asian in the South
Education has been an integral part of human history, allowing each generation to develop beyond what is currently known. Sciences build upon what is already understood to discover the next innovation. History hopes to avoid previous mistakes. English courses foster an appreciation for the stories of different cultures. But one type of education is dedicated to promoting safety: sex education. However awkward this education may be, it is certainly better than silence.
Fantasy Roundup: Week 8
Another week closer to the Super Bowl and another week of games. In a league already plagued by injuries, Cam Skattebo joins the list after a nasty tackle left him with an ankle injury. Around the league, many teams are continuing their dominance as the Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield beat the Saints, Drake Maye and the Patriots overwhelmed the Browns, and Daniel Jones and the Colts won against the Titans.
Fantasy Roundup: Week 0
The NFL season has officially arrived. Finally, fans have another event to fill their schedules alongside the hundreds of baseball games and the phallic interruptions of the WNBA. Instead, plop down on the couch, grab your (surely nonalcoholic) beverage of choice, and watch as the Cowboys once again fail to reach the NFC Championship.
What Makes Harvard, Harvard
Growing up, Harvard felt like an abstract idea. Raised in the South, where 90% of each graduating class from my high school went to the same few SEC schools, I had little exposure to the Ivies beyond TV references. For me, Andy Bernard was the quintessential Cornellian, while Harvey Specter embodied Harvard. These schools—especially ours—felt more like cultural symbols than real places, their names hinting at intimidating intellect and elitism derived from exorbitant wealth.

Hot Takes of the NBA
Just as the school year has come to a close, we wave goodbye to yet another NBA season as the Oklahoma City Thunder has defeated the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Finals. Filled with surprising breakout players, heartbreaking injuries, and monumental trades, this season has given NBA fans fuel for conversation. However, the debates do not cease with the season’s end; we at the Independent have provided a brief recap of the biggest talking points going into the 2025-26 season.
Making English Official: A Blow to America’s Diversity
BY: TYLER DANG ’28 “This order designates English as the official language of the United States.” —Exec. Order No. 14224. With President Donald Trump’s reelection, many anticipated sweeping changes to American life. From economic policies to foreign relations, the United States was poised for a dramatic transformation—whether for better or worse. In early March, the administration made a bold move, designating English as the official federal language.
Ten Things to Do Rather Than Watch the Eagles-Chiefs Game
Despite the Chiefs defeating the Bills and the Eagles storming past the Commanders, our eyes are anywhere but Sunday. Super Bowl LIX will be a quarterback rematch between the back-to-back Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes and the newly reinforced Jalen Hurts. Football fans face a tough choice: sing along to the “illustrious” lyricism of “Fly, Eagles, Fly” or hope to see the refs call the defense for “phantom” roughing the passers whenever Mahomes gets touched.
One of Many or One of a Kind?
It’s no secret: Harvard Square has a lot of Mexican eateries. From late-night classics like El Jefe’s and Felipe’s to the more recently opened Achilito’s, satisfying that craving is easy. Yet in a market oversaturated with established competitors, Tenoch Mexican’s newest location on Mount Auburn Street (right where Jefe’s was two years ago) seeks to capture your attention—and it’s making a strong case.
Point/Counterpoint: Should Gun Control be Made Stricter?
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. In an age where firearms are widespread across the nation, the Second and the conversation around gun rights remain major talking points in national debates.
