Following a Twitter controversy a few days ago with ESPN journalist David Feitelson, Ricardo Salinas Pliego attacked commentator Fernando Palomo who criticized him for a bet the owner made with Mazatlán players.
A few days ago, the businessman published a bet he made with his players. In the event that they won against Pumas de la UNAM, they would have received a large amount of money, but if this did not happen, the players had to pay.
This measure was questioned by a Salvadoran commentator on his official Twitter account. “A new part of the manual for the operation of Latin American equipment. They are so poor that they only offer money,” he wrote.
Quick and true to his controversial personality, Salinas quoted the tweet to lash out at Palomo. “There’s a lot more to come** like this who, as commentators, see themselves as experts, players, technical directors and even team owners… they live by criticizing everything. They don’t know how to do anything, they complain about everything, but thanks to owners like me, they eat and support their offspring.”
This takeover had a strong impact and divided opinion among Internet users. Some supported Feitelson’s partner, while others sided with Mazatlán’s owner, who interacted with some users and continued to disqualify Palomo.
“They don’t stay and eat thanks to owners like you, he only told you the truth, you better change your strategy because it’s very mediocre that the only thing you can offer is money,” the person replied on Twitter. to which Salinas replied, “Of course, even if it hurts.”
Another user noted that the well-known commentator was a Salvadoran by nationality, “he was tormented by hunger and he was jealous of money.” This statement was followed by a brief response from a Mexican businessman. “Right,” he wrote.
Despite aiming to encourage Mazatlán, the team ultimately fell short of Pumas and only managed one point out of 18 in the nine days of the 2023 MX League final tournament.
