Middle america still exists. CFB is the 2nd most popular sport in the country (in terms of financial value) thanks to the tribal nature of fans bc college football has more sense of "belonging to something" even than the NFL. The average person in this county is centrist, leaning ever so slightly to the right. Just bc non-football fans are the loudest voice in June 2020, doesn't signal the death knell of the sport.
Every offseason in the summer people predict the demise of football. Obviously with this being an election year, SJW/injustice, and COVID, things are heightened from a consciousness perspective.
There are macro threats to football like you described, but long term is nearly impossible to predict. I would say social media is bigger threat than all of those issues you described. Obviously things are cyclical, and as long as middle america continues to support CFB it won't decline very much in our lifetime. There's too much money, desire, and infrastructure.
