If I was a professional athlete, I am already totally out of my comfort zone playing in a city that isn’t my hometown. Maybe I came from Europe to North America. Maybe it was from the US to Canada or vice versa. The chances Im even in the same province/state Im from are quite small. Let’s add on the fact that you can be traded from one adopted home to another with no opinion in the matter whatsoever, and you need to be able to enjoy the “now” and not want to get too attached to anything.  So playing 2 games in another country would not phase me, no. In fact, I would be excited to experience that part of the world. It probably does feel more like a “showmatch” than a regular season game, but it wont really matter. Im sure there will be special patches on the jerseys, odd accommodations in the arena, and some logistical hiccups. No need to get frazzled, just roll with it.
