I think, as mentioned earlier, Dubai as a city has always been seen as a neutral destination that you can feel safe and very comfortable.

Absolutely.
The longer this situation continues, the deeper the scars are going to be in terms of investor sentiment and general tourism, which obviously is the initial interaction people have with the city and when they fall in love with it and then eventually look at either investing or moving the city permanently.

I don't think that's an ick.
I think that's just like he can do more freely and not worry about Big Brother watching them and his image on the field.
