The MLB doesn't own the license to the team name and can't forbid the use. The Dolan family owns the license/trademark for the Indians name and came to a private agreement with MLB to stop using the name. This is why MLB couldn't
force the change sooner, though they tried.
Regardless, I agree that we shouldn't recommend changing it because we could end up in another "league that shall not be named" situation where things get modified under the hood.
