| Reference: FYR Reference information: Level playing field Meaning Fair competition, where no advantage is shown to either side. Origin This phrase clearly alludes to the requirement for fairness in games which are played from end to end and where a slope would give one team and advantage, e.g. football. The figurative use of the phrase isn't especially old and the first record I can find of it is from the Tyrone Daily Herald, January 1977: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/228650.html |
