Sports broadcasters could all have taken a thing or two from the playbook of Jim McKay.
Always a gentleman who treated athletes from all venues with respect and introduced many of us to the unusual in competitive sports via ABC’s Wide World of Sports.
Condolences to the family.

The one thing that stands out in my mind about Jim McKay (actually 2 things) he hosted a court room TV show in the afternoons for awhile (I think they were bad plays) and the outstanding reporting he did during the Munich Games in 1972 when the entire Israeli wrestling team were murdered by Palestinians.
We’ve lost a great voice in sports and news.
