That being said, this is really lame and can only make them (the NFL) look bad. They won't lose a single penny of profit if this church has a Super Bowl party vs. calling it The Big Game party.

It's not so much about the NFL not lose profit as some other unrelated organisation (possibly) profiting from using their name and brands. *shrugs*
The IOC is just as picky with the Olympics. Last summer we had a case with a local pizza house that promoted an OG-pizza without permission. The Swedish Olympic Comittee pressed charges, but after a lot of bad publicity they were dropped. (On one hand, yay! for the little guy "winning" against the big guys, on the other hand Swedish media has way too much power over legal cases in my opinion.)
