Wut?

Try this instead: People are proud of their accomplishments and don't want them diminished by having their rewards handed out to those that:

1) Are/were not skilled enough to achieve the same goal to obtain those rewards
2) Did not even try to achieve the same goal to obtain those rewards

In both of the above cases, those people feel entitled if they think symbols of prestige should just be given to them.
