With Allred involve, you can be certain that this will get some ink, unless UA settles quickly (which is most likely).
Well, then, it sounds like Smisek has met a worthy match.
Why would UA settle when they are willing to fight to defend much more serious matters.
More "special charges" on the income statement and income for lawyers.
