One of the right arms of Jose Ramon Fernandez during his time in Imevision Yes Aztec TV from 1990 to 2007 he left the television station David Faitelson. Today’s sports analyst ESPN he takes a journey into the past to remember that time, which he still remembers with pleasure, but at the same time with anger at the sad result he had.
In conversation with Mediotiempo, Faitelson regret that both he and Jose Ramon they didn’t know how to prepare for the end in advance on TV, because that triggered betrayals and bad environment in the sports department of Aztec TV.
“(Farewell to José Ramón 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 were first of all making a sad face or with some tears and on one side they rubbed their hands, but you must also be self-critical: José Ramón did not know how to prepare for the final on TV Azteca.
“He made serious mistakes, maybe because of his own passion. We did not know how to prepare for the end and we must always prepare for the end. Everything has a beginning and an end, nothing is eternal and I thought we were eternal in Aztec TV. The cycles end and we begin. You need to get used to the changes. We didn’t know how to prepare for the end, “he said.
They “buried” José Ramón
David remember that after departure Jose Ramon Fernandez from the television station, a series of acts that bordered on the absurd by the directors of Aztec TV, as did a dynamic in which they buried the coffin of the experienced sports analyst, all to bury everything that “smelled of”Joserra‘.
“At that moment there is an absolute desire to want to erase and cover everything that smelled José Ramón, and I did not understand it, there was nothing to cover, nothing to eliminate, it is part of our history and we must be proud of it, but there was a treatment of some directors of the television station who made us believe that an injustice regime has ended, where the right of journalists had been trampled on.
“I remember that they (those who betrayed José Ramón) must know very well, this they carried a coffin in a dynamic that I made there in Taxco, with the initials of José Ramón as if to say that he is burying the past … but all those characters must 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 way to Faitelson follow in the footsteps Jose Ramon and chose to leave Aztec TV, regardless of the fact that at that moment he had to go and try his luck ESPN with half of the salary earned in Adjco.
“There were a lot of ungrateful people and I said what to do here, in a place that creates a bad atmosphere for what was José Ramón, I was José Ramón’s chief intelligence officer, so I said I had nothing to do hereEven sacrificing half my salary and sacrificing a lot of things, so I signed ESPN on a napkin at the time. I didn’t like the atmosphere there, “he explains.
