Surprisingly (and very disappointingly to the interviewer) the Chief responded that it was indeed NOT a disgrace of any kind....but an honor.
Furthermore, the Chief asked the interviewer if he had ever attended a Seminole game or event? The answer was no. The Chief then iterated that the reverence and high esteem the Seminole fans held for his tribes namesake was something to behold. The Chief was clearly pleased with that notion.

I had always heard that FSU did an admirable job in honoring the Seminoles. Pretty cool that they were able to make the tribe part of the process and celebrate their tradition.
