The art of pretending you have no skin in the game.
means The quality of treating all sides fairly, without favoring one over another.
from From Latin 'pars' (part, side) — the same root behind 'party' and 'partisan' — fitted with the negative prefix 'in-' to mean 'not taking a part.' The fuller English chain runs 'partial' (leaning toward one side) to 'impartial' (leaning toward none) to the noun 'impartiality,' a fairly bookish coinage built up from these Latin bones.
