So, will anyone who wants to be on the football team automatically make the team, whether they any ability or not?
Always a good argument for merit based squads.
Our school (where I was a teacher for many years) used a system where a group of highly coordinated students made the cheer leader squad. A second group made the song girls squad (I know, it seems like girls were the only ones in this group, and they were universally attractive) and finally anyone who wanted made the Pep squad. This last catch all group was inclusive and included anyone who wanted to support school athletics. They all had sweaters or other outfits in school colors and we got away with this system for years. I don’t know what would happen now.

Fire fighters, police officers, soldiers, mechanics, etc.
These days, what you feel, is what you are.
Just identify as a cop, and you are one.
At my school they did, but we were a small school in Idaho. My bigger question is who in their right mind would want their daughter being a cheerleader?! If I had a daughter I would NEVER let her do so.
