Controversy Surrounds León's Expulsion from Mundial

As a result of the dialogue about the "León" exit with the Joint Champion of the world, José Ramón expressed the opinion that this was an act of place in relation to the club and the Pachuca group for opposing the entry of the Investment Fund into Mexican football. It turned out that one of the co-founders of the Investment Fund was a person affiliated with the Televisa conglomerate. The discord between José Ramón and David Faitelson is deepening. The ESPN journalist repeatedly harshly criticized his former student, whom he called a "professional hired gun in journalism".

The journalist expressed the opinion that some companies hire commentators to replace someone else, to which his colleague asked if he was referring to David Faitelson. José Ramón replied that the speech refers to "one of many, a hired gun". Then he asserted that someone accepted paid assignments from Jesús Martínez, the owner of the Pachuca group, and is now attacking him. Therefore, some assignments across the border when he went there with his wife seem to be the basis for the attack.

Sergio Dipp again defended Faitelson, and José Ramón called him "a professional hired gun in journalism". Such sharp words sparked discussions about the fact that possibly it is due to the strong seniority working at ESPN. José Ramón expressed the opinion that in the case with "León" some people considered themselves dignitaries, since he was one of the first who rejected the Investment Fund, unlike other clubs.
