Warren: The law stuff is pretty boring, but it is a myth that a non-party is not subject to an injunction (at least in the US). Here' what one federal court said on the question:

[...]

As a practical matter, the judge won't care about what the umpires do as long as the game gets played in compliance with the order. If all umpires refuse to participate or if a game gets suspended because an umpire leaves the field, then someone may need their toothbrush. In the words of one of our local judges: "You may have come in through the front door, but you are going out the back door!"
