Johnny Manziel leads pack of sports stars taking part in season four of Special Forces

Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel headlines the pack of sports stars taking part in season four of Fox reality compeтιтion Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, which premiers next month. 

The quasi-military training reality show will put the 18 contestants through intense conditions and tests to see which can brave the elements similar to what members of the United States Special Forces go through. 

Half the cast has connections to the sports world, with former NFL players Andrew East, Randall Cobb, and Eric Decker also on the cast. 

Decker and East will also be joined by their respective wives – Jessie James Decker and Shawn Johnson East. 

Johnson East is a former Olympic gold-medal gymnast for the United States, who wore the Stars and Stripes at the 2008 games in Beijing. 

A unique connection to the sports world exists with Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia, a poplar face within Barstool.

Rounding out those with a sports connection on the cast are former NBA star Nick Young and longtime United States soccer defender Christie Rampone. 

Outside the sports world, fans of the show were mostly aghast at the inclusion of ‘hate crime hoaxer’ Jussie Smollett, who wisecracked to his 4.5M Instagram followers on Wednesday: ‘It was at this moment I said… “I should’ve just done The Masked Singer.”‘

The disgraced 43-year-old swore he was attacked in 2019 by two Trump supporters, who turned out to be his former personal trainers the Osundairo Brothers, and they claimed he hired them to pour bleach on him and put a noose around his neck in order to boost his celebrity profile.

Jussie only served six days of his 150-day sentence for five counts of felony disorderly conduct before the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction on November 21 citing his sweetheart plea deal with Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Fox.

Someone with a sports connection has been part of the winning team each of the previous three seasons with Carli Lloyd, Erin Jackson, and Kayla Nicole all pᴀssing the set of tests.
