Sportswriter Lisa Olson Quits NY Daily News
Thebiglead.com has reported that Lisa Olson has left her post as Sports columnist at The Daily News. Olsen’s September 17, 1990 sexual harassment incident was called by American Journalism Review ”a watershed moment for women in sports journalism.” Olson, then a Boston Herald journalist, was interviewing the New England Patriots post-game inside their locker room when she suffered that incident of intimidation.

Olsen’s resignation from The Daily News, apparently, was a result of legendary sports journalist Mike Lupica’s influence at the paper.
