Because it's FOX. Need I explain more?
Well..............................YEAH.
I'm not from America so I've never watched FOX. I know they're pretty narrow minded bigots, but they must've given a reason.
FOX cancel a lot of great shows for no reason. And they keep a lot of crap on their network.

QUICKLY! We must build a church in honor of the god of Futurama!
Yes, we will build a church for Zoidberg! And, we will have a sermon everyday in his honor, "wooooooob woob woob woob!".
This "sermon" you speak of, would we be required to speak with Yiddish accents?

From what I can remember it went something like this.

Fox thought that because it was another Matt Groening cartoon they would have another Simpsons on their hands. The thing is Futurama was not the Simpsons, infact it really wasn't anything like The Simpsons. Now I am not an American so I can;t debate with much accuracy the TV scheduling over there but from what I read FOX ended up sticking Futurama on after the Football. Now I am lead to believe that Football can and does overrun which meant that a lot of people who wanted to watch Futurama would tune in to find guys to afraid to play Rugby on the screen instead of the show they wanted to watch.

In essence being that folk couldn't tell what time Futurama was on so it got lower viewing figures than it should have FOX saw that as Futurama = not very good, cancel it.

I am lead to believe that it's initial shift to after the football started the problems and FOXs constant movement of it's viewing times finished it off.

Back on topic, great news. Who couldn;'t see the actors were just holding out to see what they could get from FOX?
Pretty much agree with you, except for the bold part. Football players hit each other way harder than Rugby players do. That is irrefutable science my friend.

On topic, this is the second best news I've heard all week.

Futurama was a cult hit at most on FOX. IT was not until it was on Adult Swim did it get so popular. Adult Swim, the life giver!
