It seems at the moment that Roger Goodell is likely to continue his term as NFL Commissioner.

Why would any sane and responsible football owner with business sense, want to continue with Roger Goodell?

I would think that there are many other highly qualified and more sensible candidates for that job.

The owners are terrified of a player’s strike & the possibility of a “strike/slowdown” of its black employees.

They’re convinced the “visuals” of a “black employee protest” and the subsequent labeling of “racist” by the media will wreck them. White fans who don’t understand the owners “patience” can either go pound sand, we (the owners) will do fine without you (You’re racists anyway!) our business will rely on a core group who have to get their “pro football fix”, minority fans, and to a increasing extent foreign fans. (And you thought the games in London, Munich & Mexico were just for good will!). So they’ll make their billions by rely on money spent by football addicts, minorities, & foreigners. The rest of you all in rural/semirural American can go take opioids for entertainment!

I ran some basic numbers of attendance in 2016 vs. 2017. On average, stadium attendance is down 37,235 people per week. Part of that is due to the Chargers moving to a stadium that only holds 25,000 people. However, attendance is still down (roughly 6%).

If you take that 37,235 x 17 weeks x $75 a ticket you get $47,474,625 less in owner revenue from tickets (or roughly the one-year salary of the NFL commissioner). That also doesn’t include the lost revenue in fans buying food/drinks/merchandise/parking, etc. from a game. It won’t take long for owners to take action.
