Minister to put on sporting event, displaying impartiality (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
open mind
'minister to put on sporting event displaying impartiality' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'minister to put on sporting event displaying impartiality' is the wordplay.
'minister' becomes 'min' (abbreviation).
'to put on' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go on or after others).
'sporting event' becomes 'open' (I've seen this in another clue).
'displaying impartiality' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'min' put after 'open' is 'openmin'.
'openmin'+'d'='OPEN MIND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for open mind that I've seen is " Keep an .... .... so as not to be prejudiced".)
