Not much has gone wrong for the Yankees so far this season, but they swung and missed with their local member of Congress last week by using the term “Latinx” in a tweet about gun violence. Amid nationwide shock over the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that killed 19 elementary school students and two teachers, the Yankees announced on their Twitter page Thursday that they would “offer facts about the impacts of gun violence” in lieu of providing updates on that night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.One of those facts went like this: “Each year, more than 4,100 Latinx people die from gun violence in the U.S. and 13,300 are shot and wounded.”
