Mae Martin Tyler, sylwebydd pêl-droed SKY Sports, wedi cael ei feirniadau ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol am gyfeirio at David Brooks fel “Sais sy’n chwarae dros Gymru”.
Daeth ei sylwadau yn ystod y gêm rhwng Bournemouth a Lerpwl, a gafodd ei darlledu’n fyw gan y sianel ddoe (dydd Sadwrn, Rhagfyr 8), ac maen nhw’n dilyn helynt fis diwethaf pan wnaeth y sianel osod baner Lloegr dros Gymru ar fap rhyngweithiol.
Roedd e’n sylwebu ar y chwaraewr pan ddywedodd “Brooks, y Sais sy’n chwarae dros Gymru, yn cwrso”.
Mae’r chwaraewr canol cae yn enedigol o Warrington, ond fe benderfynodd gynrychioli tîm dan 20 a thîm dan 21 Cymru ar ôl bod yn chwarae i dîm dan 20 Lloegr.
Mae’n gymwys i chwarae dros Gymru am fod ei fam yn hanu o Langollen, ac mae’n aelod o’r garfan genedlaethol ers dros flwyddyn.

Dyma’r ymateb a gafodd y sylwadau ar Twitter ers y gêm.

@SkySportsNews @SkySports very disappointed, David Brooks is welsh, plays for Wales, yet he’s an Englishman, Martin Tyler sort it out

Mae eraill yn cymharu’r sefyllfa â galw Raheem Sterling neu John Barnes yn “un o Jamaica sy’n chwarae dros Loegr”:
Martin Tyler refers to David Brooks as the “Englishman who plays for Wales”. Does/Did he refer to John Barnes or @sterling7 as the “Jamaican who plays for England?” Didn’t think so… #skysportsfootball @afcbournemouth vs @LFC

Martin Tyler @SkySports referring to David Brooks as the Englishman that plays for Wales no Martin he’s Welsh. I would love to see the reaction if Sterling was described as the Jamaican who plays for England.

@SkySports. Regarding Martin Tyler’s comments towards David Brooks as ‘The Englishman who plays for Wales’ are you condoning such small minded comments?. Imagine the uproar if somebody regarded Sterling as the Jamaican who plays for England. Ridiculous @SkyFootball
