Barely entertaining spots for football gear and suit (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
strip clubs
'barely entertaining spots' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'football gear and suit' is the wordplay.
'football gear' becomes 'strip' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'suit' becomes 'clubs' (I've seen this in another clue).
'strip'+'clubs'='STRIP CLUBS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for strip clubs that I've seen is " adult entertainment venues".)
