• Sportsmen Spank the Government

Joining the fashion of athletes in confinement to show how they develop their training, golfer Gonzalo Fernández Castaño has gone one step further. He has taken the opportunity to launch a harsh and acid criticism of various public figures and, incidentally, members of the Spanish Government.

He is not the only professional athlete (García Calvo, Reina, Lopetegui ...) who has shown his dissatisfaction with the management that Pedro Sánchez is managing of the coronavirus pandemic in Spain, with almost 11,000 deaths already. Fernández Castaño, pulling irony, titled his video on twitter: "How to improve precision and swing speed, 2 x 1 !! (Please respect the gender quotas when choosing the characters, it happened to me!)".

In his peculiar way of teaching swing, the Madrid-born Castaño, winner of several international tournaments, uses images of politicians and public figures. Starting with the journalist Antonio García Ferreras and continuing with Pablo Iglesias, Pedro Sánchez, Alberto Garzón, José Luis Ábalos or Quim Torra, whose photographs he uses as a target for his golf ball throws.

"To improve the precision you have to make a small modification," he adds, before showing the images of his targets, "of characters that you really dislike." The phrases with which he accompanies these characters are more than forceful. García Ferreras "the manipulative gorilla", "Sexy fraudster" purse, Iglesias and Garzón "Marquis of Galapagar and his puppet", Pedro Sánchez "the compulsive liar", "Ábalos piss on us" , Torra "the nationalist paleto" and " Mesh shoemaker who is absolutely indescribable. " "If you are the typical progressive you can use images of Franco," he concludes, before beginning his exhibition with the golf club.
