“I’m not offended by somebody waving their arm at a sports game,” Sneed told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “I’m just not. If somebody is, that’s their prerogative, it’s their right. They can be offended. … I don’t know very many, maybe one or two, from my tribe who say, ‘Yeah, I don’t like that.’ But at the end of the day, we’ve got bigger issues to deal with.”

This undated photo released by Christie’s on Thursday, March 11, 2021 shows a digital collage titled “Everydays: The First 5,000 Days,” by an artist named Beeple. Vignesh Sundaresan and Anand Venkateswaran weren’t sure they had just spent $69.3 million on a digital artwork by an artist called Beeple, securing their place in art history. The March 11 auction at Christie’s in London immediately catapulted Beeple’s artwork into the realm of the most expensive pieces ever sold by living artists, alongside a well-known swimming pool painting by David Hockney and an iconic stainless steel rabbit sculpture by Jeff Koons. And it has also kicked off a new explosion of interest in non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, a sort of cryptocurrency-adjacent technology that provides the digital equivalent of a certificate of authenticity.

“Everybody in the organization said, ‘We’ve got a job to do — put players in a position to win so fans are entertained and pay to watch them play,’” he said. “Well, that staff embraced that, and that’s why it was a great experience. I watched Cairo, Narron, Shelley and Ethan, and they made their mark.”
“I’m around a lot of professional athletes, and I don’t know if I’ve ever met a kid that’s as focused and even as Cairo. Kickers, it’s very volatile. You’re a hero or a zero. You never hear a person say, ‘Oh, well, Cairo Santos had an OK game.’ No, he either won the game or in a lot of people’s opinions he lost the game. That’s something I can’t teach but something I always had a lot of respect for. Even as a 15-year-old kid, he was different. He was very, very mature for his age. He was away from his parents. He was learning a new language. There were all these distractions, but he didn’t allow it to (affect him). He’s such a special human.”
