Well, if like half the owners wanted Goodell gone he'd have been gone already. They can remove him at any time since he works for them. This simply isn't the case and by every account one of his major supporters is Robert Kraft.
I also wonder what it is everyone who hates the less contact and player protection rules is looking for the league to do? The fact is the NFLPA has pushed for it during CBA talks. Another fact is retired players are now filing class action lawsuits against the league for not protecting them better. A bunch of the same guys whining today are going to be suing in a decade - count on it.
Like it or not this is a big business. The idea the league shouldn't care about billions and billions in potential legal damages because fans and some players (not all and not their elected representatives) want the game to be the way it was is a fantasy.
