Hulk Hogan died on the morning of July 24, which came as a shock to many. Since his death, his fans and everyone who knew the wrestling legend, have been paying tribute to the star. But amid all the heartfelt posts, there are some who have taken to "celebrating" the sudden death. And one Florida county school board chair was one of them. Sarah Rockwell of Alachua County Public Schools commented on a Facebook post about the death of
Hulk Hogan
, writing:
'Oh did Hulk die? I didn't even know.
Good. One less MAGA in the world."
She also added another comment, writing:
'He worked with the McMahons to union bust professional wrestling. He's never been a good guy. I feel absolutely nothing about his death.'
The comments soon went viral, and Rockwell had to suffer from a lot of negativity about it. It didn't take long for her to delete the comments, followed by an apology, saying she will try to earn back their trust after being so insensitive.

, has since deleted them. She has also apologized for the same, this time through her official school board Facebook account, writing:
'A few days ago, I made a cruel and flippant comment from my personal Facebook account on a friend's post regarding the death of Hulk Hogan. I deeply regret making that comment and have since removed it.
I want to make it very clear that I never have and never will wish harm on anyone regardless of whether we share political views. While I strongly disagree with some of the comments Hulk Hogan made, that is no excuse for my comment.
'
She further added:
'I also sincerely apologize for the way my comment has eroded confidence in my ability to represent all students, families, and staff in Alachua County. I want to assure all of you that the best interests of our children and our public schools are at the center of everything I do as a board member.
I hope I have shown that by my record of advocacy for children, families, and staff members throughout Alachua County. Again, I apologize for the hurt and distrust I have caused with my insensitive comment.
I will continue to do the hard work of putting our children and schools first. I hope that I can earn back your trust.'
There has been no further communication on the matter. For now, fans of the veteran star are awaiting details of his funeral arrangements, which are yet to be revealed.
