Randi, a Christian conservative who endorsed Donald Trump<\/a> ahead of last November\u2019s election, was among several sports figures to offer condolences after Kirk\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n

Others in the NFL community who spoke out in support included Tim Tebow, Jaxson Dart, and Julian Edelman.<\/p>\n
