Heh, I'll bite.

This depends on your goals. Are you trying to build the best single team you can? Or are you trying to build the best repository of skill in that sport in the population at large? Or maybe something else? I bet you'd construct different team compositions depending on how you answer those questions. Ditto for the musicians.

How are the rest of the band meant to practice when the drummer can't hold time?
How often do you think the weak player will receive a pass in the sports team?
How do you think it feels for the weaker members to be always holding up the others? What does that do for their self confidence, or their long term development of skills?

It's probably a good idea for music too. Too many bands are composed of just talented musicians and very attractive people. It should be blended.
