Officials say 42 people were charged with disorderly conduct after a protest interrupted a Saturday football game between archrivals Harvard and Yale.
Students and alumni from both schools occupied the midfield of the Yale Bowl during Saturday’s halftime protest. Some held banners urging their colleges to act on climate change. Other signs referred to Puerto Rican debt relief and China’s treatment of Uighurs.
Most protesters walked off after about an hour; those who remained were charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. They were issued a court summons and released, according to a statement from Yale University.
Actor Sam Waterston was among those arrested, according to the Connecticut Post. The actor known for his roles in TV’s “Law & Order” is a graduate of Yale.
Organizers of the protest had initially estimated that 20 to 30 protesters were arrested.

Actor Sam Waterston -fugures another Hollywood asshat.
No big deal. Nothing will happen. All charges will disappear.
Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29
Everyone gets a trophy.
I stopped watching Law and Order because of him and the bleeding heart liberal writers.
Hard to believe that there were no signs protesting Harvard taking a bunch of Jeffrey Epstein cash.
He certainly looks like one
9. The new leftist math?
I liked Stone better.
Jane Fonda’s new generation of commie shock-troops.
Sounds like the outcome of a Damon Runyon Theater episode.
The Harvard - Yale rivalry was a big part of a plot.
42 of 150. I guess it is a start. They should charge them for the clean up of their camp, if the pictures I saw were accurate.
The educated stupid.
Should have release both teams and started ground tackling drills.
