The suspension was a bit heavy in the first place. When the league is letting an appeal succeed, they are kind of admitting fault and that the wrong suspension was handed out in the first place. They clearly don't love doing that.
It is probably part of it, right? They can drag it on so that when the decision comes on, it feels inconsequential anyway, so there is not going to be a further news cycle about this controversy.
