Questionable relevance of non banana-related racist taunts in football

I had removed the sentence "Racist taunts are an ongoing problem in football.[170][171]" because it isn't directly relevant to bananas (the topic of the article), but my change was reverted. I think this is a mistake - there are other places to note that racist taunts might be an ongoing problem in football, but I don't think this article is it, unless the taunts involve bananas. But I don't intend to get into an edit war over a low-value statement. Maybe someone else wants to deal with this, perhaps rewrite the section? Or link to a main article on racism in sports or something? Bernd Jendrissek (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

The text directly relates this to bananas specifically. Why is this not relevant? Invasive Spices (talk) 17:36, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
No, the text "Racist taunts are an ongoing problem in football" does not relate to bananas specifically, at least not as written. If racist taunts involving bananas are an ongoing problem and that this is supported by references 170 and 171 then the text should specify this. As it stands, the text refers to racist taunts in general, not to the subcategory "racist taunts involving bananas". Bernd Jendrissek (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
