    Moral of the story, Don't fire the old people's elf, specially if it's their Idea to show him off to the world.

      Well it's obvious that he legally changed his name to that, so I'm sure he likes telling people about it. Plus the seniors would probably riot if they saw that he was introduced on tv as "Jesse Elf" instead of "Jesse THE Elf" 😂

    I can understand the YMCA's position. They feared The Elf was taken advantage of their elderly members. Maybe they were a bit hasty in The Elf's firing but they clearly were concerned for their members. It's all worked out now so no reason to view those who decided to fire The Elf harshly.

    I wonder why he was originally fired. That whole point seems missed.....
    he accepted money while at work.
    The seniors have nothing better to do...he did something against regulations, this is totally justified.
    No one cares he's an elf....I'm a dwarf where's my job?

      but if she said black or brown power you'd be fine with it i'm sure... and then deny that bigotry against whites can exist. Your the reason why Trump won and white power groups are getting bigger

    Good cause, but the thing that is being ignored and not even acknowledged is that the guy clearly has a mental illness. His illness should be treated and acknowledged, instead of being ignored as if it wasn't present. But hey, that's how our society has turned.
