Your response assumes I want to see sites distributing copyrighted soccer games taken down, rather than cheered on.

The courts are unlikely to cheer on such websites, though. For better or worse, copyright law exists in Spain, and it will be enforced either with Cloudflare's co-operation (Cloudflare blocking infringing websites) or without (ISPs blocking Cloudflare IPs).
What I'm hoping for, here, is a case along the lines of "this court order has been used irresponsibly, with no regard for collateral damage, and has blocked sites such as GitHub, X, Y, and Z, which have nothing to do with the purpose of the court order; the court order should be rescinded".
According to another commenter here, the court order specifically stated that unrelated websites should not be blocked, so La Liga is potentially in breach of the court order, and could be on the hook for a lot of money in damages, should the injured parties decide to pursue it.
