SCIENCE & TECH: Travis Kelce’s dad claims he was ‘banned for life’ from X

The father of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce revealed he’s no longer welcome on the X social media platform while criticizing it over a recent report about arms dealers in Yemen.

Ed Kelce shared an article based on a report from The Times in London that claimed that arms dealers in the war-torn country are selling weapons on X and appear to be doing business in the capital of Sanaa – territory held by the Houthis.

Kelce shared the article on his Facebook page.

“Arms dealers are free to peddle their wares on X, but I’m banned for life and they won’t say why, just a generic ‘Terms Of Service’ violation,” he wrote.

X didn’t comment on the report to the Times of London.

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 on Facebook about him and Taylor Swift.

At least, Kelce said, his dad checks in with him to make sure things are going OK at home.

“Do you know what he’ll do? He’ll see some wild s—t come across and be like, “What the f—k is this?” the three-time Super Bowl champion said. “It’ll be something so f—king out of the blue, like something about me and Taylor, he’s like, ‘Hey, what the… are you guys OK?’

“I’m like, ‘Dad, get the f—k off Facebook, Dad. Are you f—king kidding me?’ That’s his search engine.”

The Kelce family is getting ready for the 2024 season. The Chiefs start their latest title defense on Sept. 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
