Jones, just like the rest of the United States, has been enjoying the Olympic games from the comfort of her own home. And from early August she has been live tweeting and posting videos of her hysterical and supportive commentary on the events and athletes. Here are five reasons why Team USA's #1 fan should be in your twitter feed.
1. Her energy is contagious.
Jones is so team USA she has worn head to toe American flag attire and she even has her own megaphone to chant at the TV screen. She's definitely the kind of energy these Olympians need to feel from our country and after watching her videos and reading her tweets, you can't help but feel that same energy too.
2. She's hilariously realistic.
She really says what's on everybody's mind. It's one of the best qualities about Leslie Jones. She's real. She's funny. And her commentary on the Olympic games is more than likely to leave you cracking up laughing or chanting "USA! USA! USA!"
3. She's beyond supportive.
Whether these athletes know it or not, Leslie Jones probably knows who they are and has been rooting for them from the very beginning. She's so proud and supportive of every athlete; you'd think she was the mother of them all.
4. She'll keep you up to speed.
If you don't have the time to watch the Olympics or maybe you missed something, chances are Leslie Jones has got you covered. When the French gymnast broke his leg, Jones was tweeting about it. And when Michael Phelps reached 20 gold medals, she was right there cheering him on! She'll be sure to keep you posted on all the latest events that are happening.
5. And she's literally in Rio.
She's caught so much attention from fans and athletes alike that the US Olympic team invited her to Rio. She accepted and she's there today! She's been at many different events and met a lot of the Olympians. So as if she wasn't already a committed fan, she's now live tweeting and recording there in person and cheering on Team USA.
She's Team USA's #1 fan and someone that should definitely be in your Twitter feed. You'll be up to date and always laughing, so go follow Leslie Jones on Twitter and support Team USA today: @Lesdoggg
