Are you doing that Oklahoma thing again and disguising anger with humor?

As Southern as apple pie, that.

No worries, I feel things too, I just feel them quicker. These emotions you're spewing out here are what I felt for like maybe a minute after the thing was announced. Between then and there I came up with the populist 'good sport' schtick I responded to your statement with.

I was able to come up with it so fast because it is that schtick that I used to calm down that 'no one cares about me' inner voice that, by the way, everyone feels.

Obfuscate it with a challenge to one's self to do better, even if it results in nothing. Don't obfuscate it with snide humor directed at those you feel wronged you by doing the thing that is similar to yours and getting rewarded for it.

For if you just embrace the snide of the others being unworthy, then rewards will become toxic instead of helpful to the overall community.
