Hulk Hogan Trolled on Twitter With Photos of Black Soccer Players

Hulk Hogan has been retweeting trolls who send him pictures of black soccer players and pretend they are pictures of themselves and friends.

Unbelievably, after leaked audio of a racist rant surfaced last week, Hulk Hogan has not yet deleted his Twitter account. He's been scrubbed from every bit of WWE's presence, but he just keeps on truckin' on his own, retweeting fans and colleagues who have shown him support. Some folks haven't been so supportive, though; some folks have been outright trolls. A whole bunch of soccer fans have been tweeting pictures of themselves with soccer players, or just random pictures of soccer players—like Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere—at Hogan with messages like "me and my mate support you and know you're not racist."

This is what happens when "some of my best friends are black" meets Twitter.

Now, obviously the Hulkster is not a big time soccer fan. In a sense, this is a little unfair because these same fans probably wouldn't recognize pictures of Riley Cooper, or Chip Kelly if someone just randomly tweeted them. But come on, man, this Drake (and Rio Ferdinand, not Drake's dad)!

Not only has Hogan retweeted all of these (and more), but he's also earnestly responded to each and every one. It's almost like a wrestling work. He is basking in the crowd's applause and has no idea there is a guy lurking behind him with a metal chair.

I'm overwhelmed by the love and support of the millions of people that never 4 a moment left my side,I'm grateful,truly humbled,only love HH
