Even if the NFL paid out the lawsuits they're still going to be making enough money to want to stay in business. Also, one of the main reasons there are lawsuits regarding long-term effects of head trauma in NFL players is due to the fact that the NFL actively lied and mislead the public about the link between football and head trauma.
Putting a warning label on cigarettes that admitted they would kill you was supposed to destroy that industry. Lo and behold, people still smoke...sure, it's less than when tobacco companies would lie about the dangers, but it's still enough to keep a very profitable industry going. Putting a warning label on the NFL isn't going to destroy football, either. Plus, you'll always have a segment of the population that thinks getting your head smashed in is manly and awesome.

Probably all of them?
