In a surprising turn of events, Ed Kelce, the father of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, has been banned from a popular social media platform after expressing criticism over a recent report regarding arms dealers in Yemen. The controversy arose when Ed shared an article from The Times in London, which alleged that arms dealers in war-torn Yemen were utilizing the platform to sell weapons in the capital city of Sanaa, an area controlled by the Houthis.

Ed Kelce, known for his active presence on Facebook, posted the article on his personal page, only to face repercussions when the social media platform decided to suspend his account. Travis Kelce had previously mentioned his father's engagement with Facebook during an episode of "Bussin with the Boys" in June, shedding light on how Ed frequently encounters rumors and false posts about Travis, including wild claims involving pop-sensation Taylor Swift.

Travis, a three-time Super Bowl champion, revealed that his father often checks in with him to ensure that all is well amidst the online rumors. "He'll see some wild s-t come across and be like, 'What the f-k is this?'" Travis shared during the podcast. "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."

While the specific reason for Ed Kelce's banishment from the social media platform remains unknown, it appears that his criticism of the report on arms dealers in Yemen may have played a role. The Times' investigation raised concerns about illicit arms trade and its potential link to one of the most violent conflicts in the Middle East.

As Travis Kelce continues to excel on the football field, his father's run-in with social media censorship sheds light on the challenges faced by public figures and their families in navigating the ever-expanding realm of online misinformation. The incident serves as a reminder for individuals to exercise caution and critical thinking when consuming and sharing content on social media platforms.

It remains to be seen how Ed Kelce will respond to the banishment from the social media platform and whether it will deter him from actively engaging with online content in the future.
