The father of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce announced that he is no longer welcome on social media platform X, while also criticizing it for a recent report on arms dealers in Yemen.
Ed Kelce published an article based on a report in the Times of London claiming that arms dealers in the war-torn country are selling weapons on X, apparently doing business in the capital, Sanaa, an area held by the Houthis.

Kelce shared the article on his Facebook page.
“Gun dealers are allowed to freely offer their wares on X, but I’m banned for life and they won’t say why, it’s just a general violation of the terms of service,” he wrote.
X did not comment on the report to the London Times.

Kelce is apparently an active Facebook user, as Travis revealed on an episode of “Bussin with the Boys” in June. Travis talked about how his father sees rumors and untrue posts about him and Taylor Swift on Facebook. At the very least, Kelce said, his father checks in with him to make sure everything is OK at home.
“You know what he’s going to do? He’s going to see something wild and say, ‘What the hell is that?'” the three-time Super Bowl champion said. “It’s going to be something so damn unexpected, like something about me and Taylor, and he’s going to say, ‘Hey, what the hell… are you guys OK?’
“I say, ‘Dad, get off Facebook, Dad. Are you kidding me?’ That’s his search engine.”
