Excellent US sports event not getting the bird? (6)
I believe the answer is:
superb
'excellent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'us sports event not getting the bird?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'sports' could be 'pe' (Physical Education) and 'pe' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for superb that I've seen before include "Magnificent, quite splendid" , "Of surpassing excellence" , "Impressively splendid" , "Tiptop" , "First-rate" .)
