You're not missing anything, as usual, as far as I can see.
That's exactly how I'm interpreting it as well.
The decision punishes the team by letting others cut into their profits by committing the same (legal) perceived offense.
Unless the team caves and changes the name and assuming the decision above is upheld, the end result is actually encouraging the proliferation of the perceived discrimination/offense by a larger audience --a real backfire for the the complainants and the federal judges in this case, IMO.
IMO, the team's attorneys probably have a strong shot at successful appeal on this one.
