Rich Eisen says fans don't want to hear politics from athletes

The NFL Network's Rich Eisen joined the show to discuss Jim Brown's comments on Tiger Woods.

Eisen understands why Brown ripped Woods for not taking a stand on social issues. But Eisen says it's a "completely different time" and guys like Woods have more at stake financially.

Eisen also thinks that a lot of people don't want to hear politics from sports stars. Sports is supposed to be an escape.

"They just want their sports. They don't want to hear about it. They don't want to know about it. They get that stuff from other channels," Eisen said of athletes' politics.

Eisen and Dan agreed the era of the Muhammad Ali's, Billy Jean King's and Jim Brown's are over in a sense. Eisen can't see an athlete making that kind of stand.
