This research reviews the words that carry elements of violence and metaphors including war in the captions of the daily sports journals published throughout a year in Turkey. It was determined that 10 key words with negative connotations which were identified by two academicians (military: war, attack, weapon, bullet, destruction, violence: fight, coming to grips with someone, revenge, tearing up, and kill) were used 576 times in the captions of news and comments in Fanatik, Fotogol, Fotospor and Pas Fotomaç sports journals in the period between 1 June 2008 and 31 May 2009. It was determined that among the reviewed words ‘war' and ‘fight' were the most commonly used. In the papers, it easy to confuse conflicts and misunderstandings with ‘fights', contests with ‘coming to grips with someone', goals with ‘bullets' and victories with ‘destruction and annihilation'. We can suggest sports media to form an auto-control mechanism in order to get rid of these negative aspects.
