We live in a society of immediacy, where every day millions of news items cross the world in the blink of an eye. This is thanks to social networks, a perfect channel for the frantic flow of information that reaches from one part of the world to another in just a breath. This means that we live on a hyperconnected planet, where distance does not exist if we take into account the tools that the Internet offers us.
Social media is a wonderful tool, but it can also be very dangerous ground and play tricks on you. This is what has happened to Sergio de la Fuente, the captain of Real Valladolid Basketball, who has suffered the consequences of first-person networks, since a tweet from his team has revealed the double love life he was leading .
Real Valladolid de Baloncesto, a team that plays in the Spanish LEB Oro, congratulated the birth of the captain’s daughter with a very special post on their official Twitter account: ”Welcome to the world, Carlota! And congratulations to Laura and Sergio for this great news! One more squirrel in the family!”
In their last match against Oviedo where they were victorious, the player posed with his baby and his partner wearing a team shirt with the girl’s name. This family image and the publication of the team congratulating the new parents angered a Twitter user, Alicia DÃez, who assured that Sergio de la Fuente had been dating his sister for three years.
“Come on! Well, what a surprise! If this boy was my sister’s boyfriend until yesterday! They had been there for three years! Hey, well, nothing. May he be very happy and long live polyamory,” the user wrote ironically and angrily Twitter.
But she is not the only one who has commented on the publication. Former basketball player Fernando San Emeterio, who finally turned out to be her husband, made a brief but emphatic comment on his Twitter profile supporting his wife: “I attest.”
For now, the player has not spoken out and the family consequences of the controversy are unknown, but social networks have been filled with messages commenting on the athlete’s clumsiness and his “hard face.”
”Whoever wants to gets bored on Twitter”, ”The sauce that I deserve. They explain to me how you don’t find out about the whole cake in 3 years because I don’t get out of my astonishment” or ”The woman from San Emeterio uncovering the box of shit haha” are some of the comments that can be read these days on social media.
