«Jos Ram n es un excelente periodista, ejerce esta profesi n con una dignidad absoluta, con una capacidad enorme. Realmente para m ha sido una satisfacci n trabajar con l. -C sar Luis Menotti
Durante d cadas, Jos Ram n Fern ndez no solo narr el deporte, lo entendi y lo expuso como un espejo del poder, la corrupci n y la injusticia. En estas memorias, el periodista que marc un antes y un despu s en la televisi n mexicana cuenta su historia: desde su infancia en Puebla, su formaci n intelectual y su despertar pol tico en los a os previos a 1968, las coberturas de Juegos Ol mpicos y Copas del Mundo, hasta la construcci n de un estilo period stico frontal que desafi a los monopolios y dictaduras deportivas que moldearon --y deformaron-- el deporte nacional. Estas p ginas no solo son el testimonio de una carrera excepcional, sino la cr nica del deporte mexicano y mundial vivido desde las cabinas de transmisi n, la redacci n y los foros de televisi n. Con autocr tica y una honestidad poco com n, Jos Ram n revisa sus aciertos, sus errores y el costo personal de mantenerse fiel a sus principios. El protagonista es el retrato de un periodista que incomod a muchos, form a generaciones de comentaristas deportivos y entendi que el deporte nunca fue solo un juego, sino tambi n una extensi n de la pol tica, el dinero y el control social. «Si no tengo un enemigo enfrente que diga lo contrario es dif cil que valide mi historia; se valida por la grandeza de los rivales, y un rival es Jos Ram n. No nada m s son los rivales de la cancha. -Emilio Azc rraga Jean
«Jos Ram n es el jefe m ximo, el referente absoluto de este negocio, el tipo por el cual yo entr a trabajar a TV Azteca. Para m es el n mero uno indiscutido. -Christian Martinoli
«Jos Ram n siempre fue un gran l der, al que t le aprend as por imitaci n. Ve as c mo estudiaba, c mo se preparaba, c mo se apasionaba, c mo era l der, c mo llevaba las juntas y dec as "wow, s es un tipo especial". Muy protector de un gran equipo de trabajo que arm . -Francisco Javier Gonz lez ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Jos Ram n is an excellent journalist; he practices his profession with absolute dignity and tremendous skill. It has truly been a pleasure for me to work with him." -C sar Luis Menotti
For decades, Jos Ram n Fern ndez did not merely commentate on sports; he understood it and presented it as a mirror of power, corruption, and injustice. In these memoirs, the journalist who marked a turning point in Mexican television tells his story: from his childhood in Puebla, his intellectual formation, and his political awakening in the years leading up to 1968, through his coverage of the Olympic Games and World Cups, to the development of a forthright journalistic style that challenged the sports monopolies and dictatorships that shaped--and distorted--national sports. These pages are not only the testimony of an exceptional career, but also a chronicle of Mexican and global sports as experienced from broadcast booths, newsrooms, and television studios. With self-criticism and a rare honesty, Jos Ram n reflects on his successes, his mistakes, and the personal cost of remaining true to his principles. The Protagonist is the portrait of a journalist who made many uncomfortable, trained generations of sports commentators, and understood that sports were never just a game, but also an extension of politics, money, and social control. "If I don't have an enemy in front of me who says the opposite, it's hard to validate my story; it's validated by the greatness of the rivals, and one rival is Jos Ram n. It's not just the rivals on the field." -Emilio Azc rraga Jean
"Jos Ram n is the top boss, the absolute benchmark of this business, the guy because of whom I started working at TV Azteca. To me, he is the undisputed number one." -Christian Martinoli
"Jos Ram n was always a great leader, someone you learned from by imitation. You saw how he studied, how he prepared, how passionate he was, how he led, how he ran meetings, and you'd say, 'Wow, he really is a special guy.' He was very protective of the great team he put together." -Francisco Javier Gonz lez
