Kristy Lee Cook, Sister-In-Law of Colorado Crush QB John Dutton, is American Idol Finalist

NEW YORK – More than 400,000 AFL fans have walked through the turnstiles this season and millions more have watched AFL games on ABC and ESPN2. Week 4 of the AFL’s 22nd season wraps up tonight when the Kansas City Brigade hosts the Grand Rapids Rampage at 8 p.m. ET, however, one member of the AFL’s extended family will be on the national stage on Tuesday, March 25, and the AFL wants you to vote!

Colorado Crush quarterback JOHN DUTTON’S sister-in-law, KRISTY LEE COOK, is a finalist on season seven of American Idol. Cook, a 24-year-old singer from Selma, OR, auditioned for the show at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, home to the Philadelphia Soul, last August.

"The AFL is like one big family," said Dutton. "It would be wonderful if everyone involved in the League – fans, players, coaches, staffers, and owners – showed their support for Kristy. Our immediate family is already proud of her and votes every week. I hope the AFL family will join me and vote for Kristy on Tuesday night."

Cook will perform on Tuesday, March 25, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on FOX. Watch American Idol and vote for Kristy via text message or phone with the information provided during the telecast.
