“So, will anyone who wants to be on the football team automatically make the team, whether they any ability or not?”
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.
Our high school had a no cut policy for all athletics. Just because you were on the team did not mean you got to play tho.
If we got ahead by 50 points the coach would start putting in the scrubs.
You also would not letter unless you played a majority of the time. Getting a letter meant you were pretty good.
Now cheerleaders was different. As someone else mentioned, the tryouts were in the gym with the entire student body watching. A panel of teachers made the selections and they were fair.
Our cheerleaders were just plain hot. I mean several were stunning beauties. All were attractive.
Another thing different was they actually led the fans in cheers. No dancing with the band.
yep...FF in NYC has been there done that...
this should tee people off.
