Summary
Elmo, a Sesame Street character, was criticized by Knicks fans for not supporting the team during the NBA Finals. He was seen as a traitor and had his head paraded around on a spear. However, Elmo has since shown his support for Team USA during the World Cup, wearing a jersey and stating “Just to be clear, Elmo wants Team USA to win.” He also asked people not to make his show of support into “a thing.”
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Elmo’s attempt to stay neutral during the NBA Finals backfired, but he’s trying again with Team USA. He’s donning a jersey and making a clear statement of support. Because, apparently, you can’t just “hope both teams have fun” anymore. Elmo’s learned his lesson and is now jumping on the bandwagon. The puppet is trying to avoid being a “traitor” this time around.
Elmo’s support for Team USA is a calculated move to avoid another backlash.
