do SI sponsor..

Do SI sponsor AFC wimbledon. I've never really understood this.

Yes, is the short answer.

Is it too much to ask for the long answer, or am I best of looking on Google.

I don't know the long answer.

Here's the long anwser, if you are truly interested:

AFC Wimbledon have been sponsored by computer games developers Sports Interactive, creators of the hugely popular original Championship Manager and Football Manager series, since the club's inception in 2002; the SI logo appears on the front of the team's shirts. SI Managing Director Miles Jacobson said of the sponsorship deal: "We are huge supporters of grass roots football. Most of us play grass roots football at some level (or in my case, below grass roots!), and we know that that is where the stars from tomorrow are going to come from."

The idea for Sports Interactive sponsorship came from Nick Robinson, who was an employee at Eidos, Sports Interactive's then-publishers. However, Eidos were not willing to fund the deal, and so Sports Interactive found the cash themselves.

The sponsorship of AFC Wimbledon is not Sports Interactive's first support of lower-league football; they sponsored a "Save York City" charity football tournament in 2001.

Ah, just Googled it. Here's what Wikipedia had to say.

I hope I haven't broken any rules in re-producing that.

Haha, you beat me to Wikipedia. I was pretty interested, thanks. It's great to see SI doing something for football outside of FM.
