Summary
San Antonio posted a photo shout-out to Elmo, acknowledging the Sesame Street character after he wished the Spurs luck in the NBA Finals.
That response followed Elmo's neutral message backing both the Spurs and the New York Knicks, which quickly drew complaints from Knicks fans because Sesame Street is closely tied to New York.
Elmo later apologized for the post, turning a light social-media exchange into a small loyalty spat around the Finals.
