Default CBC's Ron Maclean's departure from the Olympics

Not sure if anyone caught this live or on youtube...feel bad for the guy, however very composed. Very classy.

Pure Class. You have to respect Ron, and all the best to his Family.

Handled the situation with class - says a lot about Ron as a person.

Condolances to Ron and his family.

He actually seemed eerily calm.

Class? Damn that word is being thrown around a lot these days. I'm having a hard time these days finding the difference between classy and what a person should actually do.

Making the call between covering the Olympics, which is fairly honorable for a broadcaster and coming home to be with his family is classy in my books.

Nevertheless, suffering Don Cherry every weekend, even for a few minutes, at an unreasonably low rate of pay (I'd have to paid considerably more to deal with Grapes that often) without tearing his head off requires a certain amount of class.
