is two fold:
1) The owners are unlikely to do what you want re Goodell because of the TV contracts. Interest in the game may -or may not-be declining but that won't
impact the revenue picture for them. As long as television continues to broadcast the games they will make as much money as before regardless of what
people think. And Rodger the dodger is responsible for that.
2) The Anthem issue is just one small part in why the game "may" be losing it's interest -which began some time before the protests.
And there is irony in the song itself. During the Civil War the anthem of the south was Dixie while the anthem of the north was the Star Spangled Banner. However, Dixie was written by an anti-slavery northerner while the anthem of the north was written by a slave-holding southerner whose family supported the confederacy long after Francis Scott Key died in 1843.
