One of the right arms of José Ramón Fernández in his time in Imevision i Aztec TV from the 1990s until 2007 when he left television, he was David Faitelson. Today’s sports analyst ESPN he takes a trip to the past to remember that time, which he still remembers with pleasure, but at the same time with anger at the sad outcome he had.
In a chat with Mediotiempo, Faitelson lamented that both he and José Ramón they have not been able to prepare in advance their end on television, because of that trigger betrayals and one bad atmosphere in the sports department of Aztec TV.
“(José Ramón’s farewell to Javier Alatorre) I remember her with a lot of nostalgia for some and also with a lot of cynicism and shamelessness for others, there he was in the front row putting on a face of sadness or with a few tears and on the one hand he rubbed his 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 out of his own passion. We didn’t know how to prepare for the end, and we always have to prepare for the endings. Everything has a beginning and an end, nothing is eternal and we thought we were eternal on Aztec TV. Cycles end and new ones begin. You have to get used to the changes. We didn’t know how to prepare in the end, “he said.
‘Bury’ José Ramón
David remember that after leaving José Ramón Fernández from the TV, came a series of acts that bordered on the absurd by the directors of Aztec TV, What was it like to do a dynamic in which they buried the coffin of the experienced sports analyst, all in order to bury everything that ‘smelled’ in ‘Joserra‘.
“At the moment there is an absolute desire to want to erase and cover everything that smelled José Ramón, and I didn’t understand it, there was nothing to cover, nothing to eliminate, it’s part of our history and we have to be proud of her, but there was a treatment of some executives inside the TV that made us think an injustice regime was over, Where the right of journalists had been trampled.
“I remember, and they (the ones who betrayed José Ramón) must know very well, that they were loading a coffin in some dynamic we did there for Taxco, with the initials of José Ramón like saying they were burying the past … but all these characters must thank José Ramón for the career they have today, and thank him for putting them on this path. “
Faced with this scenario, there was no way to go Faitelson to follow in the footsteps of José Ramón and chose to leave Aztec TV, No matter what time I had to go try my luck at ESPN with half the salary he earned in the Ajusco.
“There were a lot of ungrateful people, and I said what I do here, in a place where a bad atmosphere is generated for what was José Ramón, i was head of information from José Ramón, then i said i have nothing to do here, Even sacrificing half my salary and sacrificing a lot of things, so I signed him on a napkin to ESPN right now. I didn’t like the atmosphere there, ”he explains.
