"I support the underdog (because they can't beat me)"

Egalitarianism seeks to ensure that there are no superiors, the "tall poppies". However, there are people who do deserve more rewards than others by their merit. The underdog is someone is who is assumed to not be given equality opportunities, or a "fair go". However, it is not always true that a weaker group or person (oops, not being PC) deserves more help, or is even not given a fair go. Many in our egalitarian society support the underdogs, but when they become stronger, these supporters can't bear to see the success. Those who had been underdogs become an eyesore.
