You're not getting my point, which is that I think you need to draw the line between being proud of your accomplishments and looking down at others for not doing the same.
If kids on a basketball team spend hundreds of hours practicing and winning a basketball championship deeming them the best team in town, it's all well deserved and good, however what would you say if these kids then started strutting around their school district telling everyone they suck because they couldn't/didn't do what the kids on the team did and rubbed the fact they were the best team in town into everyone's faces? They'd be some epic douchebags wouldn't they? The other kids might be decent at playing the violin, math, so on and so forth, so what right do the basketball players have to make fun of everyone else's basketball skill?
Sure they earned their title fair and square but there is a degree of sportsmanship/professionalism that we as civilized and respectable people need to have. There is a big difference with a kid who hangs his gold medal up on his bedroom wall and a kid who wears it on his neck everywhere and shoves his gold medal into everyone's faces.
You can work for money but you can't buy class
Now I'm not saying that these kids in this sports car club aren't rubbing it into people's faces, but I am saying that it is equally despicable to think that you're better than someone and looking down at them because of how hard you worked.
