Jones was appalled to see an American snowboarder hurtling through the air with his pants cinched just a few inches above his knees -- as were many spectators, most likely.
"You saggin' like one of the crips I know, Homie," she yelled at her TV. "You're not no crip! Pull your motherf—ing pants up!"

"Okay, whoever did this commercial, I want them to be beaten within an inch of their life," Jones says flatly.

An figure skater took the ice in suspenders on Thursday, and suffered Jones' judgement. "I'm just trying to figure out how is he going to skate with suspenders on?" She wondered out loud. Many people at home were wondering the same -- noting that ice skating is hard enough without a complicated wardrobe.

Jones has shared a lot of relatable perspectives for the non-Olympic athletes watching the games this year. While aficionados may comment on the subtleties of form and execution, Jones says what's on all of our minds: How does the slalom not destroy the athletes' knees on impact?
"My meniscus would be all over that slope," she says in awe.
