Ed Kelce, father of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, has broken his silence on being banned for life from the online platform X. The unexpected revelation came after Kelce shared a news story about Houthi arms dealers selling weapons on X and expressed frustration over the platform’s inconsistent rules.
In a recent Facebook post, Kelce explained that he rarely uses social media and only remotely posts articles about his sons to keep friends and family updated. He claimed that his X account was hacked, leading to the ban, and slammed the platform’s management, calling them “social media turds.”
Kelce stated that he had been inactive on X since February, only using it to follow sports reporters during games. He believes that his account was compromised between May and June 2023, resulting in a post that violated X’s rules. Kelce emphasized that he never intentionally broke any rules and is still unaware of the specific reason behind his ban.
The Kelce family has gained significant attention since Travis began dating Taylor Swift last September. In a humorous podcast episode, the Kelce brothers joked about their dad’s interaction with Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game, expressing concern over their dad’s conversational skills.
Kelce’s frustration with X’s management is evident, as he feels that the platform is hypocritical in its rule enforcement. With his ban now public, Kelce has used the opportunity to voice his discontent with the “social media turds” behind the decision.
