HOUSTON, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick just found an ally in his refusal to stand for the playing of the national athem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States. That ally is none other than Lady Gaga.

The diva sang the national anthem at last year’s Superbowl 50 at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara — standing up of course — but she will sit it out during Superbowl 51 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on February 5, 2017.

Lady Gaga, if we were to believe US Magazine, has been chosen to perform during the half-time show for Superbowl 51.

When the national anthem is sung (singer still to be announced), Lady Gaga will be seated inside the green room while awaiting her turn to perform for the half-time show.
