Some of them find it difficult to represent N Ireland for obvious reasons. If we grew up there we would probably understand it a bit more.
I read the 'poorly advised' comment being in reference to you making that particular 'Catholic then' comment.
Bear in mind, Sykes represented the Northern Irish U21s 11 times (when he was managed by the current boss of the main national team), and was in 3 training camps with the main squad under O'Neill.
Until Sykes comes out and gives a reason, it's all guesswork on our part. Best not to resort to simple secular speculation.
