That is just as bad as a sexist comment since you are directly attacking and singling out another specific human being. Even if you imply the "suck" at hockey, or are "old" that is just as offensive.
Seems like everyone here agrees its OK to make fun of them, but not call them Sisters because it would be sexist. But why? Making fun of their appearance is just as offensive to the Sedins, isn't it?

The difference is one is disparaging to the individual and the other is disparaging to an entire group. I do think it's better to keep the smack talk about hockey rather than getting into personal attacks, but whatever, it's not like they're going to see it.
