I am not sure why it is shocking that a player in a league which has never allowed players to play through appeals is not allowed to play through his appeal.
And, as I have noted previously, the only thing you get by changing the system is for players to abuse it by filing pointless appeals just to delay the start until after an upcoming big game.
Don't care how much it sucks for Wideman, giving the players the ability to massively cheat the system is the greater evil.
