That’s been an interesting conundrum. Many cultures do glorify winners and basically demonize losers, to the extent that some people see losing as the worst possible outcome in any situation—with any means of prevention being acceptable. “Participation” awards (given to those who attempt the endeavor, win or lose) was a well-intentioned idea to make losing “painless” that arguably made winning pointless.
