On Feb. 4, 2026, The Washington Post laid off over 300 of its roughly 800-person newsroom. The layoffs resulted in both the sports and books departments being removed, a significantly smaller metro section and cuts to international correspondents and editors, many of whom were based in the Middle East. These layoffs came after several years of failing profits, decreasing numbers of subscribers and changes to leadership that further sank the paper.

The Undergraduate Theater Collective is Brandeis University’s number-one destination for student theater. Giving opportunities for a more unfiltered and hands-on stage experience, UTC is a great outlet for all members of the undergraduate student body who may want to dabble in a theater environment. Their first show of this semester was “Clue: On Stage” — a reimagining of the classic board game as a full theatrical production. There’s a lot to unpack about the play, so I will start with the negatives, since for me, there weren’t many. One slight problem I had was with the script. This play is basically only comedy and they won’t let you forget it. The jokes fly at you at the quick pace of about eight to ten a minute, and most of them are hit or miss. However, this never manifested into a real annoyance to me and although some jokes left a bad taste in my mouth, they were soon followed by a new bit that got a big laugh out of me. After about 30 minutes, I fully settled into the style of the play. While plot may be secondary in this production, it’s important to remember that fun is the primary goal. Once I realized that, I thoroughly enjoyed the shenanigans.

The United States’ celebration of Women’s History Month dates back to 1987 when Congress first passed it into legislation, coinciding with International Women’s Day on March 8. March has been proclaimed Women’s History Month by every president since 1987 and has been given an annual theme by the National Women’s History Alliance. 2026’s theme is, “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future.”

Thanks for sending in this week’s hot take, Esther. I think women getting into sports is pretty topical since the release of Heated Rivalry brought in a lot of new female hockey fans, and they have received criticism for this. To all those who think that you are not allowed to be a hockey fan because of Heated Rivalry, I say this: Who cares? Can’t everyone just enjoy sports? Can’t everyone just get along? The best part of watching sports is the community around it. Everyone can watch and have their own opinions and their favorite teams — so what if someone likes a team because there’s a hot player on it? They still enjoy the games just as much as everyone else, and I’ll bet they know just as much as the average fan. Of course I agree with Esther because all sports fans are valid for their reason of being a fan. We shouldn’t judge based on why you’re a fan, but what you’re a fan of. I don’t care that you like the Oklahoma City Thunder because you think Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is hot, I care that you like the Thunder because I hate them. If you’re a sports fan, you’re a sports fan — and that’s that. If you’re a man and you disagree with what I’ve said, let me ask you this: Why do you watch LeBron play?

Learning about the University’s budget problems is nothing new to Brandeis students. There’s likely not a single student on campus who hasn’t woken up to an email from the president — either former or current — detailing the latest deficit or university crisis, and then outlining the brilliant and novel plan they came up with that will save us. Sometimes, these plans are called reorganizations, restructurings or reimaginations. In reality, they are almost always layoffs, cuts or cancelations. There was Brandeis’ decision to lay off more than 60 faculty positions in the spring of 2024. Later that year, the University ended its support for the Lydian String Quartet. That came following the 2023 decision to eliminate specific graduate programs within the music department. Of course, for those of us who have been here a little longer, some may remember the cancelation of the Science 2A project: the purported five-story and nearly $150 million expansion of science lab and classroom space attached to the Shapiro Campus Center. Finally, for those of us who have been here the longest, there is the University’s infamous post recession attempt to sell off the Rose Art Museum's nearly $350 million collection.

Thanks for sending in this week's hot take, Alyssa. Draymond Green has been the starting power forward for the Golden State Warriors for the last 14 years. During this time with the Warriors he was a major contributor to four championships and the best win record in NBA history, the 2015-16 season, where the Warriors went 73-9. He is a Defensive Player of the Year and recorded the only ever triple double without points. He has revolutionized the way power forwards and centers play, often being the most ball dominant player on his team which allows his point guard, Steph Curry, to play off the ball. The archetype of a passing big, a model of player seen often in the modern NBA, is heavily influenced by Green’s playstyle and the role he plays in the Warriors offense. He is also heavily criticized for being one of the most unstable and violent players in the NBA, being sixth all time in technical fouls and second all time in flagrant fouls. I could spend all day listing distasteful things Draymond has done on the court, so I will stick to the highlights. He punched Jordan Poole in the face during a practice, leading Golden State to trade Poole and likely dashing their chances for a back-to-back championship. He stepped on Domantas Sabonis’ chest during a game, a potentially career-ending injury. He kicked Australian player Stephen Addams in his down under after getting blocked by him. He went on his podcast and called Karl Anthony-Towns “soft” for missing a game, then doubled down on his statements after learning Towns missed the game for his family friend’s funeral. I think Jusuf Nurkic got it right when asked about Draymond, he replied “That brotha needs help,” a quote that quickly went viral. It goes without saying that basketball is a very competitive sport and Draymond is not the only player to have gotten carried away during a game. Historically, he’s not even the worst player, but he’s definitely criticized the most. Dennis Rodman and the bad boy Detroit Pistons did much of the same in the ’80s and ’90s, but they receive praise for their efforts. It’s true, the game has changed since then, but that doesn’t excuse the demonization of Draymond as opposed to other players in the NBA. He himself has been outspoken about people's perception of him. Green in 2023 apologized for his behavior and agreed that changes are necessary. In 2025 he again commented saying that when people criticize his overly-physical playstyle, they are forcing him into the stereotype of “an angry black man.” While he has certainly gone too far in some instances, his contributions to NBA culture have been enormous, and he has made efforts to be better. I agree with Alyssa that Green might deserve some criticism, but the hate goes too far.
