For a Canadian, I would consider myself to be a moderate hockey fan. However, I still have an opinion on Ron MacLean's troubles with the CBC.

After reading the comments posted on the CBC web site itself, I found only one supporting letting Ron go. It reasoned that the money would be better spent somewhere else at the cash-strapped CBC. I disagree - if Ron MacLean left Hockey Night in Canada the CBC would probably lose more money in advertising and ratings than they would have ended up paying him as a raise. It doesn't have to become an emotional issue and we don't have to accuse Ron MacLean of being greedy. He just knows how much he's worth to the CBC. Thank you Ron MacLean for having the balls to stick up for yourself.
