Ed Kelce slammed X for allowing arms dealers to operate on its platform but banning him for an unspecified "Terms Of Service" violation.
Ed Kelce, father of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, has taken to social media to express his frustration after being banned from X. In a Facebook post, Kelce shared an article from The Times in London alleging that arms dealers in Yemen are using X to sell weapons in the war-torn country. He criticized the platform for allowing such activity while banning him for unexplained reasons.
"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," Kelce wrote.

X has not commented on the report or Kelce's ban. This is not the first time Kelce has spoken out against X. In June, his son Travis revealed on an episode of "Bussin with the Boys" that Ed frequently sees rumors and untrue posts about Travis and Taylor Swift on Facebook.
"He'll see some wild s--- come across and be like, "What the f--- is this?" the three-time Super Bowl champion said. "It'll be something so f---ing out of the blue, like something about me and Taylor, he’s like, ‘Hey, what the… are you guys OK?’"

Travis added, "I’m like, ‘Dad, get the f--- off Facebook, Dad. Are you f---ing kidding me?’ That’s his search engine."
Ed Kelce is an active user of Facebook and has often relied on the platform to monitor his son's well-being. Despite his criticism of X, the Kelce family is preparing for the upcoming NFL season. The Chiefs are set to open their title defense on September 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Kelce family has a storied history in professional football. Ed Kelce played offensive tackle for the University of Cincinnati before a brief stint in the NFL. His sons, Travis and Jason, have both become stars in the league. Jason, who recently retired from the Philadelphia Eagles, is a five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion. Travis is an eight-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro, and Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs.
