Duck Dynasty is far and away their most popular show. It isn't a simple choice for them to just cancel it considering how much revenue it brings in. A&E will have no problems getting advertisers for a show that pulls ten million viewers per episode.

Does it represent more than 50% of their revenue?
Like I said, it's not a question of popularity of that show. If keeping that show destroys the rest of their business, then they're screwed. And it might be harder to get advertisers if large swathes of people choose to boycott any company that advertises on the show, irrespective of the size of the audience.
Tell me - do you honestly believe that the management of the network haven't weighed up the pros and cons of cancelling the show vs keeping it going? Do you really think they'll completely cancel a show, complete with all of the side-effects of doing so, without first considering whether the show is a net liability in the circumstances first? Do you really think that they're that incompetent?

Except boycotts never actually work.
Actually, generally when boycotts are announced... buisness actually goes up because their name is in the news.

Boycotts don't work? Yes they do, the problem is our generation is lazy we don't go through in our boycotts. Look at the 50's-60s when the bus system was boycotted off the whole rosa parks situation they lost so much money they were forced to change their rules.
Money rules ALL as soon as a business knows it's going to lose money it will concede, look at the boycotts XboxOne was going to get due to their DRM policy, they changed their policies because they saw how poor their preorder numbers were compared to the competition.
