This paper, which is just over 5 pages and utilizes 3 sources in MLA format, is a brief analysis of how the language of sports is similar to that of warfare. In it, the author analyzes how sports fans have become increasingly violent and how the language used to refer to sporting events reflects this shift. The author suggests that warfare itself is often described in "game" terms and how games have become more warlike. The author theorizes that perhaps this trend, in a time when wars are few and far between, is evidence of modern society's inherent need for conflict and conquest. 5 pgs. 7 f/c. 3b.
