"Ball boys of totalitarian regimes." This is how Frank Cuesta described Rafa Nadal after agreeing to play a match in Saudi Arabia back in 2018. The well-known herpetologist was harshly attacked on social networks after making those statements, since many believed that the tennis star was going to "suck the dictator's ass." that exterminates homosexuals and treats women worse than shit apart from murdering those who are against" was not accurate.
However, Cuesta not only continues to have the same opinion, but also reaffirms himself. What's more, the presenter of Frank de la Jungla believes that time has ended up proving him right: Rafael Nadal has ended up establishing ties with Saudi Arabia and his totalitarian regime.
This was demonstrated by the well-known naturalist, sharing through He was the most beloved star in the world of sports.
"A person who earns so much money throughout the year, a person who is adored worldwide for how he plays tennis, should not go and suck anyone's ass...simply for winning a million euros clean," insisted Frank Cuesta in that moment, ensuring that doing that type of thing the only thing it achieves is "tarnishing" his image, which is precisely what is happening now, years later.
Cuesta spoke out against Rafael Nadal's decision to play in the Arab country just after the alleged murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was dismembered in Turkey allegedly by order of the Riyadh regime and in the presence of the consul of Saudi Arabia.
Years later, he is still in his thirteen: the tennis player's decision to become an ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation (STF), with the aim of making his sport grow in Saudi Arabia, has been the final straw.
Comments on Rafael Nadal's decision did not take long, especially on social networks, where users harshly criticized his decision to embark on this project with the Arab country. Cuesta, specifically, dedicated one of his videos to him, questioning his values.
"I ate all the shit when I said I was a pesetero," he recalled. "Win tennis tournaments, raise the flag of Spain, perfect, but then what are the values? Money? What need does he have to mix with a totalitarian regime where human rights do not appear? Being the tennis ambassador means that "He's going to set up an academy in Saudi Arabia... For a little money, the little dog wags his tail. What need is there for that?"
"He is no longer an example of anything. Let no one come and tell me that Nadal has more balls than you. I, and the majority of Spaniards, have more balls than him," concludes the animal activist.
