What should the people at the Vigil be called?

Stay connected for news and updates

Someone mentioned on the Remembering Joseph Vincent Paterno thread that NPR referred to them as Joe Paterno loyalists. I went to see if it was on Morning Edition, but it must have just been a news clip. And I'm not sure if it was local NPR news or network. I guess it doesn't really matter. The only thing on NPR's website about it is an AP story, which as an outsider, I thought was pretty balanced.

The AP used the word supporters. I guess it is me, but I don't see loyalists as worse. I saw many folks on the original thread talk about loyalty. I don't see that as the same as calling you cultists, which I did hear on local sports talk here.

Anyhow, just curious what you think those who went to the vigil should be called.

I created a Fanpost because I didn't want to create an argument on the original thread out of respect for its purpose.
