Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for altering or otherwise obscuring a progress bar to prevent spoilers in a media asset. A media asset is generated for display and an input is detected from a user during playback of the media asset. A determination is made whether the input comprises a command to display a progress bar. In the affirmative, a determination regarding a current point of playback of the media asset and the type of segment is made. An entry is retrieved from a database that maps the type of segment to a range of time. A determination is made whether the remaining time of the media asset is within the range of time. In the affirmative, a determination whether displaying the progress bar would spoil the media asset is made. In response to determining that displaying the progress bar would spoil the media asset, the progress bar is refrained from generating display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing media clips that depict referee's decisions that are similar to a decision made in a sporting event being currently consumed by the user. A media guidance application may be configured to perform the actions described herein. Specifically, the media guidance application may determine, that an officiator of the sporting event stopped play for a specific situation. In response, the media guidance application may extract metadata that corresponds to the specific situation and compare the metadata that corresponds to the specific situation with metadata for similar situations that occurred in other similar sporting events. The media guidance application may identify a similar situation or event that occurred in another similar sporting event (e.g., the same sport) and generate for display video of the similar situation.

Abstract: A media guidance application may provide similar media content based on user utterances responsive to ambiguous determinations at sporting events. The media guidance application may detect a user utterance and may identify a situation within the sporting event that the user was referring to. The media guidance application may compare metadata of the identified situation/segment with metadata of a plurality of historical ambiguous events, and determine, based on the comparing, a historical ambiguous event that corresponds to the segment/situation. The media guidance application may generate for display video including the historical ambiguous event that corresponds to the segment.
