This altercation apparently happened in June of 2021 inside a 24 Hour Fitness Center in California.
Andrew Cortez, who is suing McGinest, said that McGinest punched him in the face after McGinest overheard an exchange of Cortez telling someone that he wasn’t done with the weight.
This has fans a bit troubled.
If this is true NFL Network needs to fire him immediately https://t.co/lVEdng9qV6
