Twitter Snits
Posted on September 5, 2012 12:28
I am a big fan of the twitter. For me it is a great way to get breaking news, a quick laugh, weep about the state of humanity, et al. The gawker in me also loves a good ol’ fashioned twitter standoff.
A few days ago, ESPNDeportes personality, David Faitelson tweeted the following:
Quick translation: “In 2005, Giovanni was the difference maker, the player who would change Mexico’s soccer history. At 23, he has now signed with Mallorca.”
No big surprise. It is a tried and true practice among a majority of Mexican journos and fans to revel in another countryman’s supposed setbacks, which is exactly what Faitelson was doing here. He considers Giovani’s singing with Mallorca a step back. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And twitter allows you to share it with the world.
Gio responded with the following. No need for a tranlation.
Again, no arguments here. Gio has the right to defend himself, and did so quite well without getting personal.
Now let’s get to the funny part.
If you are going to trash someone on twitter, and you are a very public figure like David Faitelson… you may want to make sure that you are spelling your victim’s name right. It’s Giovani, not Giovanni, David.
Faitelson has since deleted the tweet.
By the way, you can follow me on the twitter @jjagou
That twitter thing looks like the tottenham logo
You do not follow DosSantos?
So long as he’s playing regularly, I don’t care if Giovani is playing for Timbuktu United.
Same Faitelson that got punched in the face by Cuau Blanco for running his mouth.

“He considers Giovani’s singing with Mallorca a step back. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.”
I would also consider Giovani pursuing a singing career as a major step back.
I am not sure why you would say that. Mallorca has produced a steady stream of catchy, whimsical top-40 hits.
Well played sir.
Believe me, the irony is not lost on me that I had a typo while I was trashing a guy for misspelling the name of the guy he was trashing.
Or maybe I did it ironically? I’ll go with that.
Mexico’s great stars have always paved their own path and many have achieved greatness just by playing in the mexican league. Guys like Hugo Sanchez who made their name abroad are the exception rather than the rule. I dont see anything wrong with Dos Santos being a “home cooked” player. So what if he’s going to play with “only” Mallorca rather than Man U or Real Madrid? The point is when all the chips are down Dos Santos delivers for Mexico. Would the Mexican national team rather play with Dos Santos in the lineup or without him? The answer is obvious because Dos Santos is a difference maker. This journalist really needs to get a clue….
What an idiot, well played by gio
Faitelson is just a stupid man sometimes, Gio is in a team that is beginning its season in the third place in the Liga BBVA hahaha
Compared to women’s soccer Twitter snits, that was a group hug.
