One of the right arms of Jose Ramon Fernandez in its time Imevisión Y TV Azteca from the 1990s to 2007 that he left the television station, it was David Faitelson. Today’s sports analyst ESPN takes a trip into the past to remember that time, which he still remembers with joy, but at the same time with anger at the sad ending it had.
In conversation with Mediotiempo, Faitelson he regretted that he and Jose Ramon have not known how to prepare their end on television in advance, because this caused betrayal and a bad environment in the sports department of TV Azteca.
(José Ramón’s farewell to Javier Alatorre) I remember with a lot of nostalgia for some and also with a lot of cynicism and shamelessness for others, there they sat in the front row with a sad face or with some tears and on one side they rubbed their hands, but you also have to be self-critical: José Ramón did not know how to prepare for the final on TV Azteca.
“He made serious mistakes, perhaps because of his own passion. We didn’t know how to prepare the end, and we always have to prepare the end. Everything has a beginning and an end, nothing is eternal and we thought we were forever in TV Azteca. Cycles end and new ones begin. You have to get used to the changes. We didn’t know how to prepare for the ending, ”he says.
They ‘buried’ José Ramón
David remember that after you leave Jose Ramon Fernandez from the television station, a series of acts that border on the absurd by the directors of TV Azteca, like a dynamic where they buried the veteran sports analyst’s chest, all to bury anything that ‘smelled’ like ‘Joserra‘.
“At that point there is an absolute desire to want to erase and hide everything José Ramón smelled, and I didn’t understand him, there was nothing to hide, nothing to eliminate, it is part of our history and we should be proud. of it, but there was a treatment of it some executives within the television station who made us think that a regime of injustice had come to an end, where journalists’ rights had been trampled.
‘I remember, and those (those who betrayed José Ramón) must know very well they carried a chest in some dynamic that we did there in Taxco, with the initials of José Ramón as if to say they were burying the past … but all those characters should thank José Ramón for the career they have today, and thank him for putting them on this path ”.
Faced with such a panorama, there was no more road Faitelson to follow in the footsteps of Jose Ramon and chose to leave TV Aztecaregardless of whether he had to go at that point to try his luck ESPN with half the salary he earned in the Adjco.
“There were a lot of ungrateful people, and I told me what to do here, in a place that creates a bad atmosphere for what José Ramón was, I was José Ramón’s Chief Information Officer, so I said I have nothing to do hereIn fact, I sacrificed half my salary and sacrificed a lot of things, so I signed ESPN on a napkin at the time. I didn’t like the atmosphere that was there, ”he explains.
