What comes to mind when you think of the word “spectator”?
The dictionary definition is “a person who watches at a game, a show or other event”.
A spectator is a fly on the wall. An onlooker. And while they may feel heavily invested in the outcome of whatever has captured their fleeting attention, spectators rarely put their own necks on the line.
