		But if it is to be done at all, a financial penalty has surely to reflect the anger of the federation and the state.

		In Spanish, the adjective charro means coarse (or of low value in other ways), and in some countries charro is used as a noun for `cowboy.' I think Elvis Presley played a Mexican cowboy in a movie called Charro.
