At the end of the day, someone has to lose.
We can talk about all of the ways beginners are disadvantaged in this sport, but the reality is, we should focus the sport more on individual and team growth and less on the wins, the rings, the jackets, and the banners.
While those are all cool things---you can not expect them right off the bat and if you do, you'll be sorely disappointed most of the time.
But we WANT them, why can't we HAVE them? After all, aren't we ENTITLED to whatever we WANT? If we can't EARN them FAIRLY, shouldn't we LIE, CHEAT, and SANDBAG our way to them?
