Kudos to American Family Insurance for supporting the club from the outset.
Um, since MLS and EPL are two different leagues on two different continents I don't know what would preclude them from sponsoring both the ATL U and the Man U kits (tho since I am not a fan of either Man U manager or star I wish they wouldn't)

No my point is that Coke if they so wanted could probably sponsor any club in the world, such is the financial clout they have. The fact that they choose not to is telling. I'd imagine most of their soccer marketing budget goes on being one of the primary world cup sponsors.

(I'm not a fan of the special one either haha)

But then again Coke is a very involved corporate citizen in Atlanta too and often does local sponsorships...I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were Coke really any of the ones listed. It's great advertising to sponsor a professional sports team.
