Alexa Flutie, Daughter of Former NFL QB, Joins Patriots’ Cheerleading Squad
With the 2011-2012 NFL season all set to kick off, the New England Patriots have just made a move that has media outlets buzzing.
No, they haven’t made a last minute signing that would replace stud-QB Tom Brady or any of the rest of the crew – this recent acquisition is restricted to sideline activities while the game is in session.
Making her debut on the Patriots’ cheerleading team is Alexa Flutie, the 23-year-old daughter of Heisman Trophy winner and former Patriot Doug Flutie.
Although Alexa admitted that she tried to keep her relation to her dad low-key [during tryouts] “because when I do audition, I want it to be about me and my goals and my career,” the combination of social media and the web has made that effort nearly impossible.
When asked about the attention she is getting over her new job, Alexa remarked:
“I have to say, it was kind of crazy. I didn’t expect it to blow up. I thought it would be more of a local thing, but it was just kind of funny. I had friends in California calling me like, ‘I saw you on the Internet, congrats on being a Patriots cheerleader. Why couldn’t you call me and tell me?’”
Of course, being an NFL cheerleader has also raised concerns from her father. NFL games aren’t known as the most family-friendly atmospheres; who would like the idea of alcohol-fueled, testosterone-charged NFL fans drooling over their little girl?
In the end, Doug wasn’t going to stop Alexa from pursuing her dream.
“I mean, yes, that has gone through my dad’s head and he does understand that, but he knows that it is a professional atmosphere and people will be people,” Alexa said. “… He knows that I’m doing this because I want to perform and that I love it.”
So Doug — who will be serving as a college football studio analyst for Versus this season after years in the same role at ABC/ESPN — will be cheering on his daughter and old team with his wife, Laurie, in the seats allotted to Alexa for the season.

Flutie Flake!

Please let us know what you do for the human race. I have been an RN for 30 years and I like the fact that Ms Flutie tried a fourth time to make the fourth time to make the squad. Also she is a college graduate, and works with young people involving physical exercise, I like that.
Sep 2, 2011
so her father has made money,and you are jealous. she tried out for the squad 3 times and did not make it. she kept trying. so she did make it on her own. Lots of corporate types have daughters driving expensive cars. you don't. give it a rest.

I'm not jealous of her at all. Her father was successful. Big deal. She tried for something, and kept trying until she got it. In America, we USED to be proud of anyone (her dad) being able to go as far as they could. Now, it's treated as an object of envy. I say, well done!

Countdown to sex-tape scandal starts now.

Exactly!! this time it is likely to be with one of the team players. she can pull a Kardashian.

Lindsey -You look like a drug addict.. maybe you should quit smoking that stuff and be productive yourself
Sep 2, 2011
Good for her. Pats fans and Boston sports fans love Mr. Flutie and the fact that she is a Pats cheerleader just adds to his legend.
Sep 2, 2011
got anything better to say? must be fighting inner demons to say that to someone you do not know. go puff on your favorite crack pipe some more imbecile.
Sep 3, 2011
Yes you are. Anyone that can't see beyond their biased view of what is "good" and what is "bad" is really a spoiled brat. We should all live and let live and that would be productive AND then we all die. In the meantime we get to live in a culture where sex is the most evil thing anyone can do, violence is accepted and although sex is not allowed it is always there to tease everyone while everyone tries to make any sexual behavior that people enjoy, shameful. That is life and hopefully you accept that and can be productive realizing production is a waste of time and cultural clones that swallow the propaganda are the biggest waste of life.
