What fun would it be if there were no losers? S**t, this isn't kindergarten or tee ball, people. This is the real world - I don't give a crap about your self-esteem issues. How the be-jesus am I supposed to feel good about ME unless YOU lose? And, when you come in last place, people might say things like, "it's only a game" or "tomorrow is another day" or "at least we're winning the war" or "at least you've got a good job" or "my carpets sure do smell fresh"… Losing is merely a pitstop in the journey to winning (or make up some other similar bulls**t to justify your misfortune). Really, it's about damned time you grow up and accept your place (last place, that is).
