Statement from Bob Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, on the passing of legendary
ABC Sports commentator Jim McKay:

"Jim was a regular guy who wrote and spoke like a poet. He loved sports. To him, sports defined life -- full of drama, adventure, accomplishment and disappointment. The thrill of victory for some, the agony of defeat for others. Jim was as likable off camera as on, a true friend to all those who worked with him or watched him."
