Why should we feel guilty for saying "Sedin Sisters" but not feel bad saying "Gaudreau plays like a child" or something to that effect? You just insulted every child too with that logic.
Or we could just accept the fact that when the goal is to insult another person, you sort of have to accept that you will probably be insulting some other group in some degree unless you're okay with all of your insults basically being "Ha! Sedins are poor NHL players!"

The overwhelming majority of the top sprinters and marathon runners in the world are black. By your logic, it would be totally acceptable to insult an athlete by saying, "Haha, he runs like a white guy!" You wouldn't have a problem with that insult or think that it was racist because it's just playing on the fact that black people tend to run faster than white people, right?
No, of course you would think that comment is racist because it absolutely is, just like calling the Sedins "sisters" is totally sexist. By all means mock them, but be more creative with your trash talk than using lame gendered insults.
