I think one could make a colorable argument that by releasing aggression in a controlled and monitored fashion, i.e. sports, overall aggression might be lowered. So to be the study doesn't seem pointless.

Isn't that the point of your putative hunger study? I'm guessing occasional bouts of very energetic chewing reduce overall hunger, so an experimenter that prevented subjects from having occasional bouts of very energetic chewing would see subjects experiencing increases overall hunger.

(Alternate humor explanation: self-selection into sports that involve a great deal of sweaty close physical contact with other males may correlate with men that are less sexually aggressive towards women. If You Know What I Mean.)
