David Faitelson He gave him the blow that he was missing. mexican soccer. It had all been embarrassing. The football of a team that has been lost since November 2022. The homophobic cry in the stands. The impossible-to-hide frustration of the players. Kicks and slaps. The spectacle was embarrassing afterMexico’s elimination from the Concacaf Nations League in June 2023. And there was more to go. It was missing that someone on Twitter decided to play with the naivety of journalists thirsty for scoops.
And that’s simple. It doesn’t matter to verify, it matters to say it first. Elon Musk can now be blamed for removing the verified popcorn from official accounts. And in Spicy Socceran ESPN program, the consequences were paid. Faitelson, on his own initiative or because someone warned him, decided to read a tweet on the air that was supposedly authored by David Medrano, a TV Azteca reporter. The news was shocking: César Montes and Weston McKennie had had a fight after the game. In front of the president of Concacaf. Montes, according to the timely report, was injured.
Sports journalism is just as rotten as the Mexican National Team, David Faitelson ate a fake from Twitter America and came out to say in Fútbol Picante that César Montes was injured because he grabbed a whip in the locker room HAHAHAHApic.twitter.com/SbN2EI4iFW

He said it with complete confidence, but it only took one commercial break for someone to tell him that it wasn’t true. And it was nothing out of this world to realize. It was enough to enter Medrano’s profile, in the most basic of cases. They could also look for information from another reporter to compare, but that takes a long time and the important thing was to sell the exclusive even if it wasn’t even their own. The same thing happened to Fox Sports. In The last word, the person responsible for the shortage was Gustavo Mendoza. He didn’t even say what the source was. He hid behind the famous “reportan.” Does not matter. They fell and were also made ridiculous. But less so, because they are not as seen as their competition.

In Spicy Soccer It had happened to them before, when Uriel Antuna published a phrase from a TikTok, which in reality had been famous for a long time on social networks, and they took it literally. “They did it. They finally broke it. They finally won. They broke someone. Someone who was always happy, who was always smiling. Someone who didn’t deserve the hate. Someone who did nothing but help people. Someone who loved with all his heart.” It’s just that, seriously, he is one of the copys most recurrent on social networks. They thought he had said it and not only that. They even gave opinions of what they thought about Antuna’s position.
It was the same program, but different host. That time the comment was read by José Ramón Fernández. Now it was David Faitelson’s turn. And it is not ruled out that it will happen again in the future. In fact, the tweeters who do this have the measure taken: they throw the stone and many naive people fall on them. If they are as insightful as they say, if they criticize everything that players and coaches do wrong, they should have a minimum of common sense and effort to understand where a comment, a publication, a “news” comes from.
The logic is to have the “information” before anyone else and that leads them to make primary errors. They, who come from the ‘old school’, and who have accumulated so much experience in the most demanding scenarios. Footballers are never forgiven for anything with an apology, a correction and that’s it. But for Faitelson it was that easy. Fake news and what follows. Mockery everywhere, yes. And the confirmation that Mexican soccer has no reason to puff out its chest. Neither its football nor its fans nor its journalists.
