Well, there are several ways to define "sporting". In the context that one needs to allow the animal a "sporting" chance in order to make it more fun for the hunter, I'm not a big fan. Hunting is what it is. If the animal isn't tied down then nothing is predestined.

If one is to define "sporting" as allowing other hunters an opportunity to take their share of game, by disallowing things like small canon, then I can see the point.

I think that this is one of the objectives, the other is making it a little difficult to harvest the animals so that the harvest is within the project amount, though frankly with things like deer you can flatten their population numbers and they still come back like cockroaches.
