Crossword Genius

Bias shown by the team (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side

I believe this is a triple definition!

'bias' is the first definition.
(as in being one-sided)

'shown' is a link.

'by' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'the team' is the third definition.
(both can mean a sports team)

(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "Football team" , "Pretentious air" , "This effect is secondary" , "Spin given to a ball by striking it off-centre" , "TV channel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
